News From Abroad: Chapter 16

Another great find today! We went to Pairi Daiza which is a large 
zoo on the site of an old monastery. Very cool architecture along with 
lovely gardens and lots of animals! We didn't have time to see it all today, 
so planning to go back.

Tower near the entrance!

Ready to explore!

Yes, let's go!

We went to a scientific adventure park called Le Pass that is in a revamped 
mining complex, very cool. Lots of neat hands-on exhibits that the girls loved, 
as well as a fun three floor "Acro-bat" course and an outdoor playground. Great find!

Sometimes a day off is needed. Our excitement was going to the grocery 
store and visiting with the donkeys that were in a field near by!

Bonjour!

What big ears you have!

Shrek is doing fine.  I will tell him you said hi!

We were invited to tea by Nadette's cousin Francis and his family. 
His oldest daughter is named Céline, so my Céline to meet her cousin!
