21 August 2015 - Ramla and Ta'Hmira

It was my dads first day here and we spent the day doing his most favourite things. We first went to Ramla for a long swim in the morning. Dad was easy to see on the beach because his skin was so pale. Everyone here has tanned skin, much darker than ours. Dad says his skin will go brown pretty quickly too. Mum makes us all put sunscreen on before we go in the sun.

We bought some fresh bread from the local grocery store. The bread is baked each morning in the next village. It is crunchy on the crust and soft in the middle. We had pepper cheese and a salty ham with tomato paste and olives on our bread. I ate a carrot and some nectarines too.

We went to visit my dads cousin Joseph in the afternoon. His wife is having a baby soon. Their dog was a bit naughty... 🚽

We went to the family farm for a big family BBQ at night. I played with Liam and ate lots of food. The BBQ is a wood fire in a drum and we poked sticks at it until mum yelled at me.
