I like these wall paintings that sum up a story of  life past here.  

Offshore FPSO

Week in the operations and camp keeps me busy. 

Visited two offshore rigs today, one was a floating production storage offloading vessel.  A huge ship basically that on, offloads, stores and processes product.  

Lots of stairs. 

Beauty in the concrete

Sometimes have to stop and appreciate the random glimpses of nature in the busy developing city. 

Sunday short lived tradition at staff house.

There are about 6 rotating expats at the Luanda staff house. One brought a little BBQ and every Sunday they BBQ.  There are some markets that some decent meat can be bought.  

Today was my first.   Good steaks but we got rained out so went in the mess hall.  

It's short lived because the cook is leaving in December.  Most us rotators will be leaving in the coming months it appears.   

As good as it gets for sure.  

Winter nights

Malongo nights of lights.  

Only fast food option

There at be some local fast food type offerings in Angola but the only true fast food that has been allowed here or has been able to survive is the Kernel.  

Rainy Season

Seems to be the rainy season for the next several months.  The standard scene from my office.  I was going to go to other building but had no way to cross the street.  Slowly but surely the infrastructure develops. 

November Hitch

Mosquitos are in full breed since rains have been more frequent; getting warmer as summer approaches; saw more military with new gear on ride in; and next week marks 40 years independence for Angola so it's a local holiday.  

Back to work and production.
