Angola

Building in Luanda, 1960's

I was fortunate enough to go and live in Luanda, Angola, in 1960 for 3 years. It was a magical experience at 7 years of age. It was a privilege to see that part of Africa before it was destroyed by civil war. However it was a shame to see the beautiful people who called Angola home, and who lived in peace before, torn apart by all the infighting. Three main factions were competing for power, and in the end no-one won!
