And here are several of my fellow artisans. Don't they look proud of their work?

Fellow Artisans and the Fort
More photos from the national crafts fair this past weekend at the Fortaleza de Maputo. This old fort is amazing - the perfect setting for exhibitions, parties and weddings. A friend told me about a wedding she went to at the fort where the entire garden courtyard had been illuminated with candles - including several suspended from the trees!

Gosh I miss Mozambiqe. It just hit me. They were good times in all kinds of forms.
Sigh ..
O último está fazendo "puse" ;)
This is so cool! It's like looking at open studios in a different part of the world.
Ali, I need your help :)

Ah! That looks so beautiful! Good for you. I'd love to see that fort one day.
Good for you to do this! I am not sure I would have come home with any money! All of that is so beautiful.

~Lacithecat - I can imagine! We need a plan to get you back here, even if just for a short visit.
~Jo Ann V. - Pose total!!! He was really excited about having his photo taken.
I tried to give you some help with your literary challenge...
~Laundrygirl - It was especially cool because everyone at the fair was from a different province in Mozambique, so each table and each seller had a different culture and language.
~African Kelli - Next time you are in Moz, try and secure a few days in Maputo so we can hang out and I can play tour guide!
~Amber - I came home with a blow to my wallet as well. I bought so much stuff from my fellow artisans, but it was the kind of shopping that makes you feel good - beautiful items to bring home, and knowing that you are supporting local independent artisans.
