My 30+ hour trip ended successfully in Angola with checked bags arriving as expected. I was able to upgrade on the United flights - so had a flat bed seat from San Francisco to Frankfurt. Lovely! A long lay over in Frankfurt and then 8+ hours in a full plane to Luanda. Arrived early at 4:30am local time.
Spending the day in Luanda at Solembe House which is a family run guest house. Have showered and will go out for a long walk. The weather here is fine - blue sky, sunshine and about 75 degrees.
More later.

Angola - Part 2
Leaving on August 28th for a 3 week assignment. I will again be based in Huambo and working with the same two cooperatives. It was an excellent connection the last time and I am anticipating more progress. I will be helping the Agricultural Cooperatives in automating the financial records.
Fingers are crossed that my checked bag arrives in Luanda this time! I was very bored with my grey pant suit during my last visit as it was the only outfit that I had for the 3 weeks.
Wishing all of you a very wonderful end of summer. I will blog when internet and electricity are available.
