Zoo in Montpellier

We visited the Zoo in Montpellier, which was free. It is a huge zoo where the animals hide in their fenced off areas... But it was a lot of fun. Plus a lovely warm day.

Montpellier

We just spent 5 nights staying with Yves' brother in Montpellier. It was great, the light, the warm air... a yummy winter break. It was 16°c one day...lovely.

Here Alex is dancing to the band that was doing an impromptu set.

He just loves to dance...

Playing...

Cowboys and Guns...

Mardi-Gras is on it's way... This year Alex wanted to be a Cowboy... , the other day I bought him a cowboy outfit, which he really loves. Today I bought a new hat, (as the other one got broken my little feet), and also some guns...the two boys had fun shooting all of the photos & artworks.

They also had fun shooting Yves & I.

Nancy, 3rd of February

Yesterday I visited the city of Nancy, As you can see from the ice in the fountain, it was very cold. It was so cold, I had to buy another jumper and warm scarf. I saw the Museum of Lorraine, it was good, but the outside was better than the interior. They did have some nice Roman sculptures. After, I wandered from shop to shop and cafe to cafe, as it was -6 or less all day.

The snow is here...

Alex went for a walk in the forest, and the big white blobs are snow flakes...

Australia Day hats

A big thank you to Dorothy Cox, for sending the boys some special goodies...
