Let's Make Friends

This weekend marked a change. By chance I met another Norwegian living here, and we invited him and his familly over for a barbeque. This was a lucky strike for us, Håvard, the other Norwegian is also working on the seas, so both of us have limited time ashore, and his wife have kids the same age as the daughter of my wife.
We got together, me and Håvard took care of the meat, while the wifes went to the kitchen to prepare the rice, vinagret, and other stuff we needed. The kids found the tone quickly and played card, took a swim in the pool, and watched movies together. Håvard's familly stayed over and we ended this all with a large breakfast this morning.
We will surely continue to keep in contact, it is good to have some friends speaking the same language, it can get exhausting to speak Portuguese all the time. A good start on the year making new friends.
