Trash and Minibuses

The closer to the airport you get, the less good the neighborhood gets from Talatona.  There are still some decent things, but the trash and the minibus areas both increase linearly.

Views From The Battery

Just after entering the castle, there is an artillery battery area.  These are some of the views from it.  Needless to say, it's got a good range for cannon.

Another Part Done

The rectangles around the octagon are done now, which means all the cross stitches for part three are done.  Yay!  Time to work on a very small part four and get more of the specialty stitches in part two done.

Slowly Filling In

More confetti this time, and some patches of grass are beginning to look like actual patches of grass.

On The Walls

These photos are from the entrance wall of Edinburgh Castle.  This castle is a living structure - it changes constantly.  Kind of neat to watch.

To The Races And Beyond

The first few photos here are of the motocross racetrack.  As you can see, it's perfectly safe and well kept up.  There are races most every weekend.

The rest of the photos are on the same road, in the better part of town known as Talatona and also Nova Vida.  The Xyami shopping center is fairly big and has a the only Pizza Hut in Luanda, along with a KFC.  It also has a very nice home goods store - the one I bought my cow fur chair in.

Tableau

This actually looks like a painting now.  I'm impressed!
