so i'm on the capulana committee. this entails organizing and picking out the capulana we will wear to our formal swearing in. today we went to maputo to go capulana shopping...somehow the 8 of us agreed on one (after many a rejection). 2 highlights of the day:
1. eating at cafe sol!!!!!!!!!!! the food actually wasn't that flavorful, but think it was the fact we got to be gluttonous! i had 2 milkshakes (coffee & strawberry), veggie burrito, chips & salsa, & part of a side salad. think we ate around 2 & i'm still not hungry (it's after 8p)!
2. FINDING A BRIGHT PINK JURASSIC PARK TACKY PRINT ON A CAPULANA!!!! can't wait to make hammer pants & a matching tank top (bought a hot pink zipper to match)
back to our main purpose of the trip...so we got back and said we would distribute the capulanas at 5. we decided to put on a mini fashion show w/ our personal jurassic park ones, just to see what people would say. surprisingly there were a few in the group who liked it as our final outfit, but majority of the people were not on board. then we unveiled the real ones and the masses (at least the folks who were there) were pleased.
*pats the committee on the back for being able to please 27 people with 1 design* yea us!
