Flott að sjá þetta svona, og flott húsið ég kiki við þarna í framtíðinni.
Hi...just came across your blog. Looks like you've been doing some hard and rewarding work there. What popped out at me is that you were in Quelimane for a short while by the sounds of things. I am en route for Quelimane in October probably for an international development internship. What can you tell me about the area? I'd love to hear your thoughts on your time there. Thanks!
