Holiday

February 4 is the Day of Armed Struggle in memory of the Baixa de Cassanje revolt. Began out of a worker protest for better working conditions which seems all too of a common theme in our past and still today. 

So, no one is working today except the rotator workforce.  Time to get some work done and I don't mind the quiet office today.  

Colleague came in last night so we went out to dinner on the ilia.  Caribe resteraunt.  Not bad. Was the first time I have seen a large young Portuguese crowd of people. Interesting they all were smoking (I have not seen many locals smoking) which may slowly be on the rise here.
