This was the kitchen of the guest house…
the toilet…
(I think that’s why
the papaya tree grew so high…)
I got fresh papayas several times here too.
Mrs. Branca (branca means:
white) and her daughter were the cooks.
All the food was
prepared outside,
on this coal stove.
Mrs. Branca is a good
cook…
and big pots were
necessary to feed the eight students + me.
Mrs. Branca has a
small garden,
from where she
collected fresh leaves.
These are pumping
leaves and flowers, which she prepared with crushed peanuts.
(A head of a goat on
the roof of the kitchen…)
This is the way she
was ironing her clothes…
…with a coal iron.
She has
grandchildren…
…and one of them was
always helping granny ,
…crushing some
grains.
The train full of
mineral coal passed two or three times a day from Tete to the port in Beira,
making a big noise and we had to stop the classes for a while because of the
noise.
