Beira is a large city and is widely spread out. The best way to get around is by chapas - but I hadn't really explored much until today.
Club Nautico, which has recently been redone and has a nice overlook of the ocean, is expensive. They have good pizza and a private pool (which costs 375 mets ~ $14/day). I was deterred by the cost to go swimming - also there was too much else to do today. (!)

Have you noticed a lot of beaches? It's kind of the neatest geographical element of Mozambique - such a long beautiful coast.
 |
| If you look close enough there are lots of canoes in the water with fishermen |
First stop on way into explore is to grab an 'African pineapple'! Which is basically a peeled pineapple you eat like a carmelled apple.

| 'African pineapple' DELICIOUS! |

I wandered the city with Dan, a 3rd year family medicine resident from Alaska, who is here for 3 weeks doing a rotation at the same clinic. He is living with Peter (my preceptor) and Peter's wife Emily. He and Emily had already been down to this same area before and so he showed me around today.

We also went to
Praia Nova Market but didn't buy anything. On the chapa ride back we randomly ran into the Millards who invited me over for Peter's special pizza.
