Pirates Cannons and Urinals oh my!

 Well, my family has been in Malawi for a year now, so we decided to have a vacation. My dad was asked to do some youth training in Mozambique, so we decided that since we had paid for visas for Mozambique already that’s were we would go on vacation. We noticed in Mozambique that the roads where much better than in Malawi, even the dirt roads were better.  It was fun reading, and eating tamarind (a fruit that tastes a bit like a sweet and sour gummy bear) during the drive. After two day's travelling we arrived on Ilha de Mocambique (Mozambique Island.) The island was so cool! After a good nights sleep we explored a very old fort. It was shaped in a square, there were old rusty cannons
everywhere. In the corners there were  small rooms with slits to shoot guns. They had channels on the side so the gunmen could urinate. LOL! There was also an old slave market and a dungeon for pirates (basically just a covered square pit.) If the pirates survived for six months they were shot. And the pirates all lived happily ever after,
