This afternoon I took Josh to the Jardin du Luxembourg, for a play date with his new friend Louis. They still have some issues in understanding each other since he is British and his mother is Australian....and Josh is Italian! But they're kids, so I think they'll going to sort things out with the accent very soon. Between the 2 pm rain and the 4 pm rain they were able to have fun at the playground...then Louis's dad exclaimed: "Wow, it's 4 pm! Shouldn't we have tea?". Very British!!!
We went to their home so that the kids could play a bit more and here comes the surprise....
Yeah! That's her, Mrs Statue of Liberty....actually this is the bronze model used by the artist for the final statue in NY. I forgot it was there...next to it there's a very young and tiny American oak tree, planted some years ago, in memory of the victims of September 11, 2001. Very touching.
