Nadia prepared a nice breakfast and then we went to town to meet Quentin & Mathieu for lunch. It was nice to meet them again and funny to talk about our routes like “we will cross the Caspian Sea at Baku or more south and … Uzbekistan, … silk road….”. Sounds like adventurers and explorers, but most of the time we sleep in beds after a shower and use WiFi.

Later, we made some trials to sing “Dona nobis pacem” as I would like to assemble a canon sung by those friends whom I may meet on this trip.
Sunday was Sunday ?
Except for Mariam who had to work and wanted to meet friends directly after that.
In the evening Nadia took me to town a last time, showing me other beautiful place, then, again, she cooked and we two had dinner while Mariam after 13 hours of work on Sunday went out.
Meanwhile Nadia and I made some recordings of the “Bürgeschaft” (The pledge) of Friedrich Schiller and when Mariam came home, we did the same with “Dona nobis pacem” and after that singing other songs (Their favorite is Smokie). At 1 a.m. I had to give up…
