I bet you didn’t know (me neither) that the
official language in Angola is Portuguese, but they also speak Bantu and other
African languages.
From Wikipedia.com |
One of Angola's natural wonders,
the Ruacana Falls, is found here and shares a border with Namibia (ever heard of this African country?). Isn't it beautiful? All pictures taken from Bing.com
This is a gigantic blog hop so click here to see what other bloggers are discussing for this letter. Have fun.
I never knew that. Thanks for sharing this awesome piece of information. I love the pictures.

Portuguese? That's surprising, thanks for sharing these cool facts and beautiful sites Nana.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised about the Portuguese too, but I shouldn't have. They settle in Ghana for a little while too.
DeleteHello, Nana,
ReplyDeleteGreat theme; I look forward to this journey through continents, countries, recipes and more; but mostly to doing it with new friends.
