The day before our flight, Luis and I decided not to dive. The answer to the test is 18 hours, the general rule is 24 hours before, but we were so exhausted that we took a break. We went around downtown Kralendijk to do some last-minute souvenir shopping. At that point, Merlin was dry enough, so he had to get some pictures.

The mural culture in Belfast still is very much alive. Here are murals along Falls Road / Divis Street in the Republican part of Belfast.
The left side of the panel indicates support for the cause of Palestinian liberation and opposes their oppression by the state of Israel. The right side shows a Palestinian flag and focuses on the cycle of oppression and resistance, but also personal suffering and sacrifice. The implied reference is that the Irish Republicans suffered a similar fate during the Troubles.
There are significant differences between the Loyalist and Republican mural cultures. The Republicans update their murals continuously. Republicans to this day clearly see themselves as a liberation movement, and many murals express an affinity to other liberation movements around the world, past and present.

On our first trip to Jamaica we stayed all inclusive at the Divi. It was great and we all fell in love with Jamaica. The Divi isn't there anymore.

In the past thirty years, for Czech art Alén Diviš (1900 – 1956) has become synonymous with the concept of the artistic outsider. The difficult to classify loner, creator of hallucinatory visions, horror scenes, and passionate religious depictions, is one of the least researched personalities in the world of Czech art, and he remains a man around whom many legends and myths are woven.
Alén Diviš spent most of his life abroad. At the end of the 1920s, he made his way to Paris, at the time the capital of modern art. At the beginning of the Second World War he was accused of spying here and spent several months incarcerated in solitary confinement at La Santé Prison. After passing through concentration camps in France, Morocco, and Martinique, he found refuge in New York. He returned to Czechoslovakia in 1947, and during his short time here kindled interest in his work. However, as the Iron Curtain descended after 1948, he found himself marginalized, destitute, and forsaken. At various stages, Diviš was influenced by Cubism and Expressionism, and in his own individual way he anticipated Art Brut and Informal painting. His work was primarily based on a powerful preoccupation with existential themes, whether inspired by his own tragic lot or by literature.
This exhibition, the largest ever devoted to Diviš, gathers together all his preserved work for the first time. It contains a key cycle of prison walls, illustrations to accompany the ballads of Karel Jaromír Erben and the stories of Edgar Alan Poe, and closes with large-format carbon drawings inspired by the Bible.
To mark the exhibition, the Karel Svolinský and Vlasta Kubátová Foundation is publishing the first extensive Alén Diviš monograph, containing several hundred colour reproductions. This book has been written by Vanda Skálová and Tomáš Pospiszyl, who have managed to assemble previously unknown facts about the artist’s life and works.
The exhibition also includes the screening of Martin Řezníček’s documentary Sbohem slunce (‘Farewell Sun’) from 2002, which records the memories of those who met Alén Diviš in person.
