Maputo H3 #1955

This is my first visit to Mozambique, and it did not disappoint. I have been here for several days, enough to enjoy a Wednesday evening dinner with local hashers, as well as the TGIF dinner last night with other hashers. Today though, I scored the best part, an awesome trail with the Maputo Hash.

They always meet at the Aero Club / Volare Restaurant every other Saturday afternoon. So being of sound mind and body after the dinner last night, I rambled down the street in time to meet the pack, but also to grab some lunch prior.

Once all hashers had assembled, like the doggies, some came from near and far (if you know the reference). We jumped in the cars to head out to the run site. It was only a 10 minute drive, so no worries. We had over 20 hashers on trail, but only 3 runners with all the rest walkers. For the three runners, we had a 2 hare escort, making 5 on our trail. 🙂

We passed by the walkers a couple times as we navigated out 10+ km scurry around the ville. It was a most excellent day. We had a beer stop about 100 meters from the end, then we jumped back in the cars and headed to the place for circle. Circle was a rousing 15 minutes of fame, then all off to the Volare (where we had dinner on Wednesday, as well as met today for the hash).

Another great experience in hashing, and I learned a new word . . . MULUNGO. 🙂Read more
