Here is another picture from yesterday. Yes they are under water and breathing easy - even if Sara Bareilles is reminding us daily that the breathing gets harder (even she knows that!)They were looking at a tank containing turtles from underneath and they are quite dry - not entirely though thanks not to this, but to boat- and bubble-related activities.
We spent the afternoon at Albaniana's Boy's birthday party where we were berated by our fellow ex-pats for our mad jaunt yesterday - they think we must be catching the national madness here to consider six-hours driving to be a nice day out.
We went straight from the party to our church gathering, but E5N1 was very grouchy, so we missed the second half of the meeting - I took him and Exile #2 home and then went back for the girls and a bit more catching up with friends.
Anyway, the driving may have been a big part of yesterday (and this evening) but I like to think of it as part of the experience. If nothing else we discovered some disarming honesty from the service-station namers. Probably.
And, besides - when someone in the family keeps insisting on timed group photos in cold windy harbours in February - a few hours peace in a car seems like luxury.
