.........................

After work it is time for a siesta, it gets very hot in the afternoon, everybody is tired and returns to the tents. Some take a nap, wrapped in blanket they lie motionless on their plastic mat. Others sit down for a game of dominoes, the passion of my neighbors and, next to football, the favorite pastime in Berenike. I hear the clatter of the wooden blocks and the raised voices deep into the night.
