My whole family was in Morocco to celebrate my grandmother's 80
th birthday.
This is my grandmother. Even as an 80-year-old woman, I find her pretty cool (you should see some of the pictures I’ve got of her with dark Blues Brothers sunglasses).
(No need to say that the flags are Danish.)
It was a family reunion. We do not all live in the same place, but all of us make this journey as it is one of the few times that we all get together. Unfortunately, there were a few of us who could not make it.
It was important for me to be there it was hard to tell whether the whole family will ever come together again as a large group, as my grandparents are no longer living there.
My brother, Claus!
Another person I find pretty cool is my brother.
He has not been well in the last few years, but I love him anyway
( Definitely can't do without my big brother )
Mum's pretty cool too! She will probably hate me for putting this photo on my homepage. But it is a really nice photo of Mum with a big smile.
She hates the idea of me climbing mountains, but at the same time she bought me a climbing helmet as a Christmas present. She thought it will keep me safer when I am so far off the ground.
Thanks Mum for supporting me.
I also find my dad pretty cool. He’s a bit of a nerd just like me which means that we probably understand each other better than anyone else in the family.
This is my dads brother and his wife. The resemblance is unequalled. My dad and his brother looks very much like each other. They have the same bad habits (just like my grandfather) and both their wives are smoking like chimneys.
Finally, a picture of me...
I do belong to the family even though most of them have probably forgotten about it by now!
I am sitting outside one of the food places on the local market. We each got a serve of excellent calamari, shrimp and fish. I think this was the best meal I had while I was in Morocco.
Most tourists would avoid a place like this just because of the hygiene, but I have never had diarrhoea because I had been eating local food.
Perhaps all this travelling I do has made me immune to germs and bugs! Or maybe I just pick good food!
Do you want to see my family on a Donkey Day out?
