Swimming

Enjoying a bit of sun and swimming by the lake at Länna, outside of Uppsala, with Johannes, Clara, Jessica and Markos. Laying flat on the grassy beach, we played a very mind-wrestling game of chess. All of us furrowed our brows as the game was team-based. It was only necessary to straighten a few question marks, for instance; the Queen may not move like a Horse in special cases, and Pawns can´t go sideways. Apart from that, we could have easily been mistaken for expert players. To further impress any bystanders with our level of intellectualism, we also had a book with Rumi poetry and another titled "Introduction to Confucianism" laying around.
Oh, and in case you wondered, Marcos is wearing bathing shorts.

Also, if you haven´t seen them, check out some photos from my week in Provence.

The chessgame looks great, and I encourage you to go back to the same beach with a copy of "Advanced Confucianism". And hope that someone notices.

But I'm sorry, I cannot see that picture and feel assured that Marcos is actually wearing swimwear, so for the benefit of your readers i offer you
this greatly improved version of the photo.

Kind regards

Excellent, now I feel that any doubt in the matter can be wiped off. :)
