So, what an incredibly cultural weekend I've had! Between traditional crafts, old houses, forts, horses, feral cats, mosques, sunset on the beach and archeological digs, I feel I've been quite the tourist for the past few days.
Luckily for me, all this activity was organised by my friend, The Good Witch, who had a girlfriend out from the UK for the weekend and wanted to explore some of the cultural history of this country. Me? I got to tag along for the ride - literally, in the backseat of the car.
Here's a pictorial record of what we did on our weekend .....

You must be very bold, asking stern looking men if you can take their photo! Do you ever want to take someone's photo but they don't seem approachable, or get turned down?
