Colorful purim

The happy holiday of Purim celebrates that the jews in ancient times escaped a genocide planned by the Persians. It is an amazing experience, especially for me, a true Norwegian.

Yesterday night I went with Aljona, my Swiss friend to Bar Giora. Every sunday night they organize a Blues night. The atmosphere, the people and the music takes you back 6 decades.
