History in Mozambique

Here's a photo of Kevin and I in front of the chapel at the Fort at Ilha da Mocambique. This chapel is the oldest european-built structure in the southern hemisphere and was built by the Portuguese in the late 1500s. The fort was built later and was a base of operations for them in their control of trade and land off the coast of Africa. Kevin and I enjoyed spending a couple of days with colleagues and visitors at a beautiful beach. Unfortunately I was down sick the whole time, but at least it was a beautiful location. Mozambique has a lot of history, most of it bad, and you can read about it by using google. I say it is bad because there was so much oppression of the peoples of Mozambique, as there was with pretty much every colonial invader around the world, but in Moz it was especially harsh. -C
