Back from the trip to Antwerp, I returned to the usual routine of work, cycling, walking Mochi (who is still with us while our daughter gets settled in Barcelona), and generally enjoying the nice September weather.<\/p>\n

38_1<\/strong>
\nI start with some photos taken while walking Mochi, mostly at sunrise. This one is well before sunrise, a cat eyeing us warily:
\n\"DSF1690\"<\/p>\n

38_2<\/strong>
\nOur beach before dawn:
\n\"DSF1697\"<\/p>\n

38_3<\/strong>
\nThere is a bus stop about 100 m down the street from our house:
\n\"DSF1722\"<\/p>\n

38_4<\/strong>
\nThe exercise group is on the beach every morning:
\n\"DSF1723\"<\/p>\n

38_5<\/strong>
\n\"DSF1725\"<\/p>\n

38_6<\/strong>
\nSunrise is always beautiful this time of year, mainly because the sky usually has some clouds instead of the boring blue sky in July\/August:
\n\"DSF1732\"<\/p>\n

38_7<\/strong>
\n\"DSF1733\"<\/p>\n

38_8<\/strong>
\nThe waves:
\n\"DSF1735\"<\/p>\n

38_9<\/strong>
\nAn evening scene on my street:
\n\"DSF1716\"<\/p>\n

38_10<\/strong>
\nThe Magic Cactus at home delivered again this week:
\n\"DSF1717\"<\/p>\n

38_11<\/strong>
\nPortrait of two nice ladies. First, my friend Eri during one of our periodic lunches:
\n\"DSF1701\"<\/p>\n

38_12<\/strong>
\nAnd then Val\u00c3\u00a9rie from the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre in Brussels who visited us to start work on a project we will be doing together:
\n\"DSF1703\"<\/p>\n

38_13<\/strong>
\nWe had lunch with our visitors:
\n\"R002001\"<\/p>\n

38_14<\/strong>
\nThe WeRead book club had its monthly meeting one evening. The book of the month was “Educated” by Tara Westover, and as usual, I took a photo of the books on the table. This time we did not have so much linguistic variety, all the copies are in the original English except for one, a Finnish translation:
\n\"DSF1707\"<\/p>\n

38_15<\/strong>
\nTina and Maria discuss (Tina is German, Maria is Greek):
\n\"DSF1710\"<\/p>\n

38_16<\/strong>
\nKari and Maria discuss (Kari is one of our two Finnish members):
\n\"DSF1712\"<\/p>\n

38_17<\/strong>
\nOne of my afternoon visits to 100 Montaditos on Playa San Juan provided me with some photo opportunities. Some people, rather well dressed for the beach, were setting up a party in the sand:
\n\"1050045\"<\/p>\n

38_18<\/strong>
\n\"1050046\"<\/p>\n

38_19<\/strong>
\n\"1050047\"<\/p>\n

38_20<\/strong>
\nThe beach is for everyone:
\n\"1050048\"<\/p>\n

38_21<\/strong>
\nOn Sunday I cycled to Aig\u00c3\u00bces, as I often do on weekends, and saw this “wall” on the square:
\n\"1050049\"<\/p>\n

38_22<\/strong>
\nA multilingual explanation was provided. The idea was evidently to celebrate the diversity of the people in this little town:
\n\"1050050\"<\/p>\n

38_23<\/strong>
\nSpanish and English:
\n\"1050054\"<\/p>\n

38_24<\/strong>
\nSpanish:
\n\"1050051\"<\/p>\n

38_25<\/strong>
\nDutch:
\n\"1050052\"<\/p>\n
