Pool & Sun

Today was more pool, more sun, and more relaxed! After breakfast we headed straight to the pool. We all took a dip, but of course the girls wanted to stay in much longer than Nadim and I. That suited us fine as we enjoyed the sun and our books.

We headed into town for some lunch and did a little shopping and browsing through the shops. We soon got hot and decided to spend the rest of the day at the pool. There were a bunch of kids at the pool so Yasmin and Roya enjoyed playing with them on the big tube. The water was really refreshing.

At supper tonight we were talking with the staff and of course they asked if the girls were twins. Yasmin told her that she was 37 minutes older than Roya, and the girl said that in Thailand the one that is born second is considered the older sister because she lets the younger sister out first! Of course Roya enjoyed that story. It is custom here to call your sister with the title P. for older sister, and Nong for younger sister, so of course we had P Yasmin and now P Roya too!
