Last Sunday, Joel and I went for a Photo Safari. This meant 6 hours driving all the way from our hotel to almost as far as Cape Ledo and back. Yes, yes, exhausting, specially for Joel, who was doing the driving, but totally worth it! We came back really happy with the shots. Carlota was on the back seat, sometimes scaring people who approached the car and saw her "smiling" with her canine tooth sticking out and sometimes sleeping. We also stopped a couple of times, so that madam could stretch her legs and empty her bladder. Great day indeed!
Would you say he is worried with the world crisis?
Bridge over the River Cuanza. According to History, this was the landmark the Gov. guaranteed the residents of Luanda some sort of safety during the war.
Going from where to where?
A fish stand on the road.

Villages
Women take their houses on their heads!! Increadible!!
Some fun is good, after all it was a Sunday!
Are they both (top and bottom girls) just too GORGEOUS for words?
So sweet and so diligent, going somewhere.
Amazing glimpse into the world you are settling into. So different from my own and makes me feel a little sad. We get so caught up in the world of 'things' and oh so often forget that most of the world is struggling for just the basic necessities. I look forward to all your posts, Odila. Thank you for taking the time to share your adventure with us!

Brilliant Odila! Wow, what incredible landscape and people. I have finally caught up reading your posts...what an adventure you have been on. Glad Carlotta arrived safe and sound and was so well taken care of. With lots of hugs and best wishes, Melanie
ReplyDeleteFantastic shots Mr. & Mrs. B! I'm very jealous. Carlotta was always a happy and wonderful dog but from the pictures I can see that she is really and loving Angola! Hope both of you are too. Yesterday I took part in a Photo Race in HK. Came 1st and 3rd in some of the categories. Pics are on Facebook and Flickr. Trust all is well! Love to you both, Mr. A
