Encounters - Joao Almeida, the Balloonist

As we were filling gas in Solitaire, Namibia 🇳🇦, I started speaking Portuguese with Paula and someone asked us if we were Portuguese.
João de Almeida was born in Angola 🇦🇴 and is a balloon pilot in Solitaire.
Here is a picture of us together with the pump attendant which also dabbled with some words in Portuguese.
Before he left, João gave me some postcards of his business.
If you ever get to Solitaire, look up João and maybe go on balloon ride with him.
