This weekend we celebrated
Jacqueline’s birthday. We took Friday off and went to Almina with some good
friends. It was a very relaxing weekend spend at the poolside discussing approaches to culture differences and to what
extend freedom of speech, attitudes and clothing (the burka) should be tolerated. We did not agree but I think
that we all felt that if you do not have anything good to say about the country
you are visiting and its population and do not want to respect the culture it
is better if you leave!?
Mary
and Jon had brought Champagne, which was highly appreciated. In the
evenings we played games and had a few whiskeys and G&Ts.
We had a
small crisis last week because Thea did not want to miss school Friday to go to
the beach (I do not have any recollection of such an enthusiasm for school from my childhood).
It was, to be fair, the 100 days of school celebration so we had to promise to
celebrate it in Almina.

Jon had a cold and this is how he felt...
