21 - Faith, Hope and Charity on the Limpopo Line

funny bus ride to Mozambique - watching the movie Jack he gets emotional - I enjoy the seeing the cracks in his armor

unlike Thubron, who does not describe every detail of his journey, Theroux does, though in general terms: "Maputo appeared as a succession of outlying shanty towns and soon we were traveling from one district to another, with not much improvement in the look of things." (440-1) - perhaps that's why it's 500 pgs

flirts and debates with a pretty missionary on an antique Mozambican train for 7 pages - too long
