Friends and Pigs

We’ve been on vacation for a few days with another family, half Turk, half Thai. Their younger child is Kid.02’s best buddy, and they are so cute together, like twins. It’s shy-guy’s first real friendship and we are relieved he has found someone. We went to another thermal resort so kids could swim (what else is there to do in winter here, tell me, please!) The highlight of the trip was taking two hikes in the snow. On the last day we saw a pack of wild boars running in the hills (they were being chased by village dogs). Then it turned toward us! Luckily the 20 or so pigs didn’t get too close, but if we’d been one minute later we would have come face to face with them on our path. How ironic, to almost be attacked by angry pigs in a Muslim country…
