Day Off. Nice. we went to see my old friend from Vancouver, Noel. I hadn’t seen him since 2005, and now he is married with 2 kids. Noel was as full of life as always, a very passionate and honest fellow. He and his family took us on a walk through an old part of the area where peat had been farmed long ago, tall tree lined roads and canals everywhere.

we played music for them in the backyard and then a lullaby for the young boy who had fallen in love with Aliza. next we went into the sauna in the backyard, and did three long sessions of sweating and philosophizing, broken up by jumping in the ice-cold pond. what great night!!
