Alligators!

J'adore cette photo des filles prise par leur tata a Everglades. Plein de marais et de fermes a alligators, definitivement quelque chose a faire si vous etes dans le coin

I just love this picture taken by their auntie in the Everglades. Full of swamp and alligator farms, this is definitively something to check out if you ever come around here!

Seisme/ Earthquake

Tadashi et sa famille vont bien car ils habitent vers Nagoya, a l'ouest de Tokyo.
Par contre j'espere que les seismes et secousses vont s'arreter de se rapprocher de chez lui...
Je deteste les tremblements de terre

Tadashi and his family are OK as they live ner Nagoya, west of Tokyo.
Hopefully the other earthquakes are going to end, they get nearer and nearer to him....
I hate earthquakes

Texas

Greetings from Galveston Island, Texas!
Was supposed to fly to NY and be there for 5 days, and the client decided to change it to Texas because of the bad weather.... It was a real marathon trying to reorganize everything in 5 days, was more than stressed and exhausted.
But the hotel is nice (link below), my room was on the 16th floor with oceanview. The group of participants were nice too. The resort have this amazing outdoor pool at 84 degrees Fahrenheit (29 degrees). I swam 2 times there in the evening and swimming in this warm water while watching the stars and listening to some outdoor music, it was heaven!

Bonjour depuis l'ile de Galveston au Texas.
J'etais censee aller a NY et rester la-bas pendant 5 jours. Mais le client a decide de tout deplace vers le Texas a cause de la tempete de neige et de verglas vers le Nord-Est. Je ne vous raconte pas le marathon pour tout reorganiser en 5 jours, de la folie pure, j'etais vraiment epuisee.
L'hotel ou nous sommes est vraiment bien (lien ci-dessous). En plus ma chambre etait au 16e avec vue sur l'ocean! Les participants sont sympas. Et il y a cette super piscine exterieure avec une temperature constante de 29 degres!!
J'ai nage 2 soirees dans cette piscine, et regarder les etoiles dans cette eau toute chaude tout en ecoutant de la musique, c'etait vraiment le paradis!
