Exploring the Wilderness – Angola Day 21

One of the pleasant characteristics of medical life in Angola is that the evening are generally quiet – except for the C-section Monday at 4 AM that just could not wait for daylight. Weekday afternoons are also predictably tranquil. I took a break from the Evangelical Medical Center of Lubango to go hiking and climbing in the Angolan wilderness. The interior of this country is high plateau, with perfect 70 degree weather year round – way better than my home in Kansas City. Proceeding westward, the elevation falls of at an escarpment, rapidly descending toward the coastline and beaches. It’s a geological playground of peaks and cliffs. Can I entice anyone to go repelling with me?
