Excursion

A second attempt on Sunday to bring home some fox meat. We didn’t succeed. Had a long walk through the olive orchards. No fox, but a couple of dogs raising a family of six. Well fed and in good health the little ones are. To satisfy their curiosity, they crawled towards us slowly making cute sounds. I immediately wanted to take some home, but they still need their Mama.

At night when driving home after some shopping a fox was crossing slowly the street. As it was dark we saw it too late and hit it slightly. It escaped.

And yesterday evening, we had our first guests on the camping site. There are no facilities yet, but it was not needed as they travel in a camper (mobilhome). A French retired couple travelling 6 months a year decided to visit Syria for a week after spending a few weeks in Turkey. They left France in October.

As they came unprepared, they were happy to receive information about the most interesting sites to visit and how to get there. I heard them leave very early in the morning and I wonder whether we will see them back before they leave the country.

The children finished the first week of 2 weeks of holidays and they are having a lot of fun, as it is warm and sunny.

Rahaaf is on holiday every day. Some days are more exciting than others. Last Friday, she stepped into the car with us and we drove around for 1,5 hour. She did not speak for 1,5 hour and ate quietly the potato chips bought in one of the million shops around here while looking around in amazement. She has got big brown eyes and it seemed like they were 2 times bigger.

Back home, while having some biscuits, she didn’t stop talking and confessed she was hungry. I left her to have some dinner and to tell all about the excursion to her family.
