paris - fête d'anniversaire

Paris - 1st of august

It's my birthday!

We were already in Paris in February, just a little too early for the David Hockney 25 exhibition at Fondation Louis Vuitton. So my birthday was a perfect occasion to go back in August. Celebrate life...

A whole lot of Hockney, quelle fête!

It was a day full of color, wonder and happiness in Paris and in the evening we dined at Joli, in a magical museum garden in Le Marais.

pippa's birthday in the zoo

Tuesday 20th of August

Early in the morning I picked up my birthday girl Pippa & Liam to go to the zoo in Rotterdam.

We had a wonderful time together, Liam already loved the playground and made us lots of coffees and lattes in his wooden cafe.

We saw elephants, tigers and lots of colorful fish, watched the polar bears wrestling, heard the lions roar and the three of us agreed the giraffe is our favorite animal.
