A holiday near Calais (and a few first steps)

Oye Plage


Our holiday for the last two weeks was basically reading and relaxing in the old fisherman's house of my uncle near Calais, with lots of nice visitors. The North of France bears many traces of World War one and is a primitive area, even though new neighborhoods are popping up everywhere.

We thought Mira was going to start walking on the beach, but she only did the night we came back at Dorien's place, while reaching out for a few DVDs. She loves walking in the water but still is a little wary of sand and grass, maybe that's why she preferred Dorien's wooden floor for a few first excited steps (not in the pictures).
