**Update on Oct 5: Sorry but attendance for this Field Trip is now full**

Join the Angola Field Group for a  Historic/Architectural Tour of downtown Luanda on Sunday, October 11 starting at 7:30 AM with Architect Lisa Leal who has worked off and on in Angola for ten years. Here’s your chance to learn more about some of the significant buildings in Luanda and photograph them. Did you know there’s a train station in Maianga? Luanda’s courthouse is built on what used to be the property of a notorious female slavetrader. And the Iron Palace, was it really designed by Eiffel??? We will take a look at these buildings and more, such as the school President Dos Santos attended. The tour will last about 3 hours and finish on the Ilha.

If you want to join this tour, sign up by sending an email to angolafieldgroup@gmail.com and you will receive a confirmation email with our meeting place, and other details. We will have to car pool to keep down the number of cars so please indicate how many passengers you can take in your car.
