A rest, and its time to get some water.
A lot of water was drunk that day.
A hot day at the petanque ground.
It was necessary to go into the shadow between the matches.

A little more rest.
What a blue sky.
The boss from the local club was also thirsty.
Without food and water, there are no heroes.
A little more Petanque
Some more.
Now it is time to say goodbye. It had been a very good day togethe with some very nice and merry people. But they won the game, never mind, they were better than we were, or maybe it was the hot weather.
It is good to come out and see other factories in other countries and meet the people and their culture. It is also good to meet other petanque players and find out that we can learn from them. On a trip like this we made friendships at the factories, and will see them again next year at our olympic games. We are looking forward to that
Petanque board.
