summer holidays 2009
We were fortunate to be able to go to Holland and escape the summer heat & humidity of Tokyo.
It was the first time for the three of us to travel together, and for Mayra a time to meet some of the family in Holland.
We had a wonderful time.
To me the highlight of these holidays was to be close to Mayra for days on end, as opposed to only a few hours when I’m working. It gave me the opportunity to witness how my daughter discovers the world one bit a time… the beach sand; the sea and the fun of swimming in cold water on a hot summer’s day; the colourful flowers; birds and puppy dogs and a multitude of other things. Things that we hardly notice during our busy lives. It is such a joy to experience life through the innocent eyes of a curious child. The simple things in life are often the best-- no question about it.
