Excursion 11

Saturday, 8 September 2012

Dear colleagues,

This very easy outing, was devoted to Alba. We had booked a riding tour by monkey to Freterolle. We did book a room in Mines d'Or one day in advance to be in time to get the monkey. Alba enjoyed a lot riding a Monkey. She adopted the monkey she was sitting off, Baltasar, up to the point of wanting to buy it and take it to home. This was a quite happy and peaceful weekend!
