Half Swede half Poolish

This morning we took it real easy (vacation style). Just went down to the pool and let Nelly play around some. She was skeptical at first, like she always is but then she lit up.











It is an interesting neighborhood we live in! It feels like we got into a little society of its own, which created its own rules and if you happen to ignore them or misunderstand them, you will get a gentle yet determined warning so you behave next time. Our neighbors are nice and they insist on always greeting one another when there's an eye contact. It seems like it is important to them to keep the feeling that they know each other a little bit. They learned our names right away and they use them often, so you "almost" get a feeling that you belong. Not that we have any problem with any of this it's just ... I don't know sometimes it feels weird to be forced to be nice to strangers all the time (god I'm Swedish). It really is a closed apartment complex where we live, I'm not gonna go so far and say it's like in that movie "La Zona" but you never know what's gonna happen if you suddenly broke one of all the unwritten rules they have here.

  4. Hej! Härliga bilder. Kul att höra lite från resan och hur ni har det. Bröllopet verkar ha varit fantastiskt. Här hemma stångas vi med snön. Vi ser fram emot fler bilder och beskrivningar av resan. Hoppas allt fortsätter lika bra. Kram Erik&Ann
