Marine Ball Mugs

These were the swag from this year's Marine Ball.  I swear they look better without the carpet in back of them.

Bridging Back

 On the way back from the beach I decided to go wild with the camera from the car.  I took random photos almost all the way back home to see what I would see later.  This is the approach to the bridge back to town and going over it again.  I still wonder how it's not broken...

Facing On

My little owl has a lot more face now, and a bit of a chest. 

At Doce Mar

This is Doce Mar at Cabo Ledo, about an hour and a half south of Luanda.  They have infrastructure, though how they got it down the rutted dirt path to the place, I have no idea.  There's a hotel, a restaurant, and cabanas to rent.  The day was cloudy, but we saw lots of tiny crabs on the beach darting around.



Starting Anew

I've begun an afghan for a friend.  I need to make 108 of these peacock feathers.

Last Of This Line

I've got the last rectangle of this line outlined.  That means I'm getting close to halfway, and it feels like I'm accomplishing something!

Over The River To The Beach

On a cloudy November day we went to the beach at Cabo Ledo. To get there you have to cross the Kwanza River.  I still don't understand how they manage to maintain a nice bridge in this country.
