First I was with an Italian friend of mine. There was a hot air balloon and we needed to use it for some reason. My friend was not very happy about this because he either didn't like the fire contraption in the balloon, or heights ... or both.We both got in and made sure everything was secure and then went up... if I'm remembering right, it was very nice.
...
Fell back asleep. I was arriving at a friend's house (but at the same time it was a French friend of mine's family's house)... So I met the brother's ... who were initially my French friend's brothers and I was in awe of how lack luster and untalented they were in comparison to their brother, but then they turned into my friend's brothers and sister and they were intelligent and caring. I was looking around my friend's home (who is Dutch ...I just need to throw in a Polish person and we have a joke). It was very "Dutch," well.. as far as the furniture went. Very clean lines, light wood and so on. He had a kitchen that took up one full wall of the main living area with windows all around. I guess imagine a large just off being square room. There were windows along every wall, one wall was kitchen with a large table or island in front of it and pots and things hanging from the ceiling.. the far left part of that wall was for a little nook that stuck out a bit from the off-square, then he seemed to have lots of chairs. About 20 were stacked up on top of a table. They were a blond wood and matched a looooong skinny table at the right end of the kitchen that ran along the wall perpendicular to it. It was only wide enough to have maybe two plates across... but not too large of plates. Most likely people would have had to have sat zigzagged down the table and no serving platters allowed. There was a fire place just down from the end of the table making it to the corner of the next wall of the off-square.. (making that the front of the house.. with maybe a couch etc.... and a rug... and a porch....
The brothers and sisters came right down to talking to me while their brother (now my Dutch friend) cooked. They pointed out the window past the dining table... see over there? Yes... I saw many people milling about... maybe 2-3 guys.. the rest were women. They said.... we are worried about him (Dutch friend)... he spends a lot of nights drinking and it is because of those two mainly... and they pointed to two red headed women. One actually looked like trouble, but the kind you could avoid because it was blatant... the other was an innocent beautiful, but she had something powerful about her... they said that was the main one that was causing their worrying. She had a hook on him and was keeping him from himself.. I decided to get away from the gossip.. there wasn't anything I could do about it and thought I should probably keep my nose out. I had my little dog (I used to have) with me.. we were walking along the water behind his house (he lived on the ocean/sea/?), we walked past the docks/boats and then there was one place that still had a little sandy beach left (the tide was in). I was excited to take my dog (Sophie) down to the water ... she ran and jumped in immediately. It was really deep and clear right there...I saw her swimming so felt ok... but then I saw her sink... I ran to go dive in, but then she turned and looked right at me.. kind of floating mid-water almost saying... I'm ok... just wait... I'll float back up to the top in time.
