A: yes

A: good!! where are you from?
D: I´m from Denmark. I´m a free-lance tourist guide (he points to a group of oh so white people...!). I´m a retired farmer that became tourist guide (smiles). I was here with a group last October. Five days of rain. We did this travel anyway. You could see only clouds. I had to raise the moral and use my imagination and tell the turists what they could see in a sunny day.

A: We leave tomorrow afternoon
D: and where will you go?
