for momma

For my momma, some pictures and words. 

la biblothèque nationale. it is four buildings made to look like books standing open. on of my favorites, although i've never been in it. they have a sunken forest in the middle of them all. 

Caudry. It is where I work. And this is my walk from school to the train station. Where I pass by a bakery and have to hope that I have no money so that I don't buy the 4 for 1€ coconut macaroons. 

blizzard à la française. not too impressive. but beautiful. 

train ride to work. sometimes i don't sleep the whole way and I get to see things like this.

oh christmas tree

OH christmas tree! Oh oui!

Montreuil. And sparkle lights.

Do not underestimate socks as a gift. Especially personalized socks.

A bonne année in Bruxelles.

A very chilly Bruxelles

But a very beautiful one too.

And then I attempted to cross-country ski. 

And there were blue skies and sunshine and -11 temperatures at night with night sledding and pig dice and Genipy liquor and fires in the fire stove.
