Skating with Pera
Before the corona epidemic we went several times together to Barca to skate. The possibilities were rather limited because it is a stadium for ice hockey and artistic skating. That means that the space for skating is rather limited especially if school classes came to skate there. If there was nobody except Pera I put on my speed skates and skated some rounds till I got tired. Other days I skated like all the othesr on hockey skates just to have some movement.Pera had been skating here since he went with pension, therefore he knew all the people who came therein the retaurant even the president of Barca,

Skating along the Besos again
Before the corona period a tour of 10 km along the Besos river was organized for all people interested.I thought that that this would be a nice memory of the past, so we went there together to participate and it turned out to be a meeting of old friend and new skaters.. The picture of the group is below.
After the corona epidemic in 2023 I became 80. For that occasion I invited some of the people with whom I had enjoyed skating in Barcelona. It was a pleasure to see them again and to skate with them some rounds for the last time and have a nice drink afterwards. I think that this is the proper picture to finish this report with because I don´t expect to skate seriously anymore.
After all these years I have been skating with many people in The Netherlands, in Davos and in Spain. I am very greatful for the pleasant company I have experienced most of the time with my fellow skaters. . .
