Saturday along Avenida Marginal in Maputo ….

…. in the morning, on the beach, rituals ….

…. and in the evening, a dad is coming home with his little chatterbox, who spent all the day at his friend's home ….

This Wednesday morning….

…. Looking down from my bedroom window,  I saw this blue flood of people coming from the beach ….

…. they are members of a Zionist Church, that have the custom to worship in the open air.
Every morning I watch little groups of them, but Wednesday had to be a big day (but I don't know why, mine it's only a deduction), because of the big number of persons participating at the ceremony in their blue ritual garments ….

In the meantime, I found more informations about African Zionism : please, read here and here !
thank you !

Another architectural walking tour : colonial Maputo

Last Thursday morning, my husband took a day off from work so we booked a new walking tour with Maputo a pe ! This time the theme was : Colonial Maputo.
The morning was bright and with a gentle breeze from the ocean and we had a great guide, who was really well informed about all the buildings we looked at : such a pleasure to listen and to ask more questions!!!
There are a lot of pictures, because we had two cameras with us and not all the photos are strictly colonial themed …. !!!!
Wanna have a look? let's start, then!!!
