Zim Border Crossing

I have now been in Mozambique for one month. This means that I had to cross the border as per my visa requirement. So, yesterday Brooke and I set out for the Zim border. We are about 1.5 hours from the border, then it takes about 1 hour to cross. We did not have any problems getting in, but coming out we were stopped by the police. They were looking for something... anything to fine us with. They told us that we did not have a required document authorizing us to drive this vehicle, since neither of us were the owner. The consequence... they were going to have to impound the vehicle until the owner could come. Interesting, but it was not going to happen. The Lord gave me his confidence and boldness to let him know that this is good information. We will now take the vehicle back to Mozy and bring the documentation with us next time. After some negotiation they let us go.

At the Mozy border, the officials gave Brooke a hard time about her visa. Again, we were being held responsible for information that we did not have. When things like this happen, we smile at each other and say "TIA," This is Africa.
