Five minutes in two guards stopped us and refused to let us continue our hike. Next we walked along the barbed wire fence on the Swazi border.

First we hitchhiked to the base of the mountain. Tres Fronteras: Yesterday after our final Portuguese language test, I went with a group on a hike to the tres fronteras which is the point where the borders of Mozambique, Swaziland, and South Africa meet. I’m pretty sure my host mom fought the bride for cake. Six hours into the reception I was exhausted and begged my real family to call me as to escape the fight that was ensuing over cake. My host mom made me dance with her in front of the crowd, bride, and groom. Here it’s tradition to sing and dance while you give the bride and groom their presents. When I finally got to watch the reception it turned out to be really fun. After 3 hours of labor I was allowed to eat. Once everyone else arrived from the church I had to serve rice in the buffet line. Then she said, “today you will work like a Mozambican woman!” and she promptly put me to work washing and drying a stack of 100 plates.

When I hesitantly said yes, she said “women work, right?” I said yes. When we got to the house, my host mom asked me if I was a woman. Let’s go!” I asked if I had time to change and she said no, although it took us over an hour to get to the wedding because she stopped to talk to EVERY neighbor along the way. I opened the door and saw my host mom wearing a floor length dress and heels. Since it was Sunday I was wearing flannel and looked pretty scrubby. Weddings: Last Sunday around noon I was working on my blog when my host mom knocked on my door and told me we were leaving.
