Mattie Eats Ice Cream

One of the things Mattie liked to do on home leave was walk, of an evening, to Curly's Custard, and indulge in ice cream.  

Lucky 13 Hair Salon

I had my hair done twice by Bree at this place in Fort Worth while on home leave.  Isn't the decor spiffy?  The hair turned out awesome, too!

Hearts Flowers And Diamonds

The left side border is all outlined now, and I am almost done with the hearts and lines .  Getting close to being able to move to the second of three parts.

Dinner At Cafe Do Mar

Andreas and I went out to Cafe do Mar on the beach a couple of times before leaving Angola.  The sound of the surf was relaxing and the decor fit well - modern and squared off.  The service was better than most of Angola, but still could have used help.  Food was both delicious and pretty.

Resort Views

The restaurant and resort are on a lake.  The view is good, and there are antelope around.  It was still a bit dry and dusty.

Who's Watching?

This big satellite dish (huge) was out in the middle of the Angolan plain.  It's not for regular communications.  I wonder what entity put it there.
 

Angolan Resort Food

Yes, it took this long to pull these photos off of my phone.

This is from one of the last activities we did in Angola - we went with CLO to a resort an hour out of town.  The place was nice, and the food was good, but, like almost everything else in Angola, it had issues.  The resort is on a lake and a bit in the interior.

The menu was fixed for everyone.  We started with little amuse bouches and then went to a frou frou appetizer.  I did try the fish course, and at the onion frizee, but I still don't get the appeal of fish.  I also had a couple of caprainhas.  The beef course was very good, as was the mousse dessert.

The problems with the place were the usual - poor plumbing and poor service.  But we're gone now and we had a nice lunch out.  I will post the photos of the actual resort tomorrow.
