4 am swim with new friends. Frode and Anita could make friends with complete strangers with greater ease than....I don't know what! So while finishing off drinks at the Dubliner pub, we made new friends with Angie and Simon. Angie is here through year end, as I am, on a work assignment. Simon, her boyfriend, decided to quit his job at her same firm to come with her, and he is quite enjoying being a househusband. The most striking thing about Simon is that he seems like a hip, young version of Austin Powers, comlete with his really happy sounding London accent. Thank goodness the pool is open 24 hours!
