NPTS visitor & Les Calanques

Here we are at my favorite North African restaurant. Chris from NPTS with one of my friends. Chris had his first couscous, which is daily fare here in this port city. It is a good deal as well.

We discovered a new area. I had never hiked here before. It is at the end of a city bus line, so it is rather easy to get to. Unhappily we didn't have time to do the whole 1 hour hike.

Day trip with the Marhaba center

The day after I got back from Berlin, I went with the Marhaba center on their yearly outing. This is a chance for families to get out of the city for the day and relax or play, which ever they need most.

We were a bus load plus a few private vehicles. Families from many different nationalities were present.

There was time to sit around and chat.

A very good noon meal was prepared by the center that received us.

We played group games and the kids had some songs prepared. We also played soccer and frisbee.

The kids wore us older folk out, but they were happy for a break and snack as well.
