Rainy Luanda

We had a really rainy day a couple of weeks back.  This is how summer rain looks in Angola.  From the 22nd floor.

Still Ducky

I swear this will morph from a duck to a dragon eventually.

One For Me, One For Mom

This couple of small paintings were from the same painter.  I'm keeping the one on the right and giving the one on the left to Mom.

Going To Finish On Time

Yay, I am so going to finish this before the end of the month.  Hurrah for goals met.

The First Turn

I am on the first turn now.  It means I'm getting a bit further along, even though I still have several whiskers to finish.  It does seem to be getting some detail, at least.

This Year's Christmas Market

After having done Vienna and Munich and other Christmas markets in Europe, we couldn't leave where we were this year.  I am very disappointed, but it is what it is.  At least we found Luanda's only Christmas market - Marche Noel, at the Lycee Francaise Luanda.  They held it on their athletic field and it was well attended.  Not much truly Christmasy, but we did find fresh eggrolls sold by a Vietnamese lady.

First African Art

We bought this at the Ilha, and it struck both of us because it doesn't have that usual African look to it.  To me, it looks like something from the Addams Family.
