We live in a palace!

Compare to people that live in the country.....

 We took these pictures during our trip from Maputo to Beira.

This is the architecture style that predominates in the country!

Luck guys here! Their " machanba" is in front of their house. Some of the Mozambicans have to walk kilometers to reach their cultivated plot of land. Subsistence farming is the most common in the country.

.... BOB AND I LIVE IN A PALACE!!!

 The veranda of your palace. We live in an apartment on the second floor to the left. There are 4 apartments per building.

 The guest room decorated in Guatemalan style is just waiting for visitors. It has  air conditioning and mosquito net. First class in Beira. You would probably paid some couple of hundred dollars a day for a place like this in a hotel.

A view of the dinning room and part of the living room. Pay attention to the beautiful wooden floors.

We do not have a washing machine or a dryer and much less a dishwasher. However, we do have Fatima the best maid ever. She keeps this place spotless despite all the dust and humidity around here.

I found a perfect place to have my plants in the entrance hall. I must be careful to not overfill the vases because I do not want mosquitos around. Malaria is a very common malady here and kills more children than anything else.
