Shells pt. 2

I recently wrote about the strict laws in Mozambique barring the
export of shells by tourists. Yesterday I flouted the rules and
smuggled shells out!! It was risky (kind of) and uncomfortable. I put
a piece of coral in my bra and wrapped some of the smaller shells I
found in a handkerchief and stuffed it in my underwear. Once I got
past security safely I whispered to Elena what I had done. After more
than four hours of flying like this it was a relief to remove
everything and place it in my bag. Now I have some very beautiful and
memorable mementos of Mozambique!
