Shannon turned 1 year old on August 17, 2010!! We sang happy birthday in Portuguese and Shannon enjoyed her celebratory “cake”, which was a pastéis de nata, a custard-filled pastry in a flaky crust. Yum!

Parabéns para você,
Nesta data querida.
Muitas felicidades,
Muitos anos de vida.

Michele and Yacoub working at the Hotel Monte Carlo in Maputo. Nice outdoor tables, plenty of shade, water fountain, and wireless internet. What more could you want?
