this week I had to make one last 48-hour trip to Chimoio/Beira to talk to a few key chicken and chicken feed producers.
It was GREAT. It was a bit like coming home, in some ways. It was great to see the people I'd worked with, the Brazillian guys I hung out with each night, the bed and breakfast which I'd stayed in for months (and their friendly dogs!).
But most of all, it meant that I could spend one last night with the first family company I was helping, on their farm 45 minutes out of town.
Since I'd been there last, a new calf had been born (confusingly, a brown calf to a black set of parents?!) ... see calf in the middle of her proud parents ...!
But the best and worst part of it was having to get up at 5am in the morning in order to make an early morning meeting in Beira, 2 hours away. It was tiring, but at least the sunrise was great ...
Goodbye Chimoio...for the last time! =)
Blessings
