Actually, quite a lot. Cheyanne - the daughter of my friend Valarie, the former Operations Manager of the DU Bookstore - is a Peace Corps volunteer in Mozambique. In the photograph above, she is standing in front of a typical Mozambican hut. Most PCVs live in huts just like this (and by the way, I just love that abbreviation for Peace Corps volunteers: "Watch out! I see a PCV at 3:00 o'clock." But I digress). Cheyanne writes in her Blog that she and 20 other PCVs spent the weekend in a small hamlet inland from the college campus where she teaches. After dinner they all went to a bar and danced, surrounded by a circle of very silent Mozambican youth. Not wanting to put on a floor show for the crowd, she chased after them one by one and insisted on dancing with them. Talk about a chip off the old block. That is EXACTLY what Valarie would have done in the same situation. Read all about Cheyanne's adventures and view her great photographs at www.timeinmozambique.blogspot.com.
