Beach Balagan, as a team of 11 Dutchmen, 5 children and 2 dogs set out for a barbecue. Ruda arranged for the groceries, the dogs for the added sand, and  Anneke and Benson brought two braais. Roberto arranged out of nowhere a huge table ("where the $<@?>& did he get that from") and a shopping cart to put the BBQ's on. 

The maestro at work: being top cook in Eilat's biggest hotels and used to organize huge BBQ's, Roberto has difficulty keeping up with our consumption rate: why don't they eat a bit faster? But it was very culinary!

Enjoying dinner in the darkness, Anneke, Sonja and Rudie help diminish Roberto's backlog. The new cool box serves as table and as chair for the photographer. 

Making fires at Lag Ba'Omer: all of Israel smells of the smoke of uncountable bonfires all over the place. Small and big children have been scouring the city for wood, dragging pallets through the streets and cleaning buildings sites of scraps. 

Phew.. giving the old feet a treat on the balcony. 

The study is now fully operational, the shelves are level and even the fan has not fallen down. For mysterious reasons, Henk's study always transforms in a happy mess, in which only he can find anything without hesitation (Son, where did I leave the .... ???)

Spacious bathroom: this one is really a lot more comfortable and cooler than in the house. Only the window falls out regularly, but luckily to the inside (up till now...)
