Luanda, Angola (02.19)

Posted by Picasa Photo Gallery

Today was a nice long day.  For the first time since I got here in Luanda, we had some beef for lunch.  Today could be the start of my first day without fish in my diet.
We stayed late at the office (didn't leave until 9:00pm) as we had some work that needed to be done.  At least we didn't get stuck in traffic for 2.5 hours like the rest of the guys as the traffic is bad on fridays..  Dinner was served (and cold) but we made use of the microwave for the first time . . . and we had chicken too!  So no fish for me today!
I didn't take many pics today that I can post, but the guy in this picture is Axel (from Germany) . . . he is actually a pretty cool guy.  He has been here for a year and a half and rolls everywhere, and even runs to the house on occasion.  Rock on!
So tonight I am spending time on the patio with some of the guys that work in the field and learning so much about the inner workings of the company that I have called home for the last 8 years.  I don't think you can really learn about what a company does, until you spend time with the gang in the far reaches of the world.  I have spent time with the guys in Equatorial Guinea, Abu-Dhabi & Dubai, Canada, Mexico, and now Angola.  What a wide stretch.  I wonder where I will be going on my next trip to the outer limits.
So anyway I get to look forward to another warm night.
