Cemetery By The House

These are the last photos from our drive.  The tents are flower stalls selling mostly bedraggled or plastic flowers.  The cemetery wall keeps in the bodies of the formerly most influential people in Angola.  When there's a funeral here, there is a major traffic jam.  For all the ggovernment big wigs buried here, it's not well kept up, and it's not safe to walk in due to crime.

Just Alike

The windows are almost identical, but not quite. 

Crazy January #4 - Cupa

A start and a finish in the same day.  Yay!  I think it even came out pretty well.  

Stitching's Done

Time to put this biscornu together.  I might try to in Vienna.  Happy with the way it turned out.

Alcoves and Bridges

Photos of some of the details in the high courtyard of the castle.

Downtown

This is pretty much downtown Luanda.  As you can see, it's sparkling and beautiful.  Not.  A -lot- of people live within the downtown area of the city; there are many deteriorating apartment buildings.  Many even have raw sewage running out.

Crazy January Day 3 - Purple Grace

I truly want to do more crewel and surface embroidery.  I hope I can do that.  This is a promise to myself.
