Maputo is the capital of Mozambique and a port on the Indian Ocean

Maputo is located on the west side of Maputo Bay, at the mouth of the Tembe River

The Maputo beach has been spoiled by waste dumped into the bay, but it is improving

We stayed at the Holiday Inn on Maputo Bay for about 10 days, performing for the US Embassy

Mozambique is a country in southeastern Africa

The new constitution in 90 provided a multi-party system, market-based economy and free elections

The resettlement of war refugees and successful economic reform have led to a high growth rate

With the US Ambassador to Mozambique

In 1994 the country held its first democratic elections. Joaquim Chissano was elected President

Maputo is a planned city with square blocks and wide avenues, with Portuguese traces

The cuisine is very elaborate, due especially to the Portuguese and Muslim heritage.

Sea food is also very abundant.

Thanks Delta

Maputo is a melting point of several cultures, with a strong South African influence
