Mom and I go to Japan: November 2014

The last posting really inspired me. I want these gifts to keep coming. Is it selfish? I don't know. I think all parties prevail. Mom continues to see the world. People share their world and special places with her. I think, in a way, it gives people the opportunity to celebrate a special place with a special someone. Cause my mom was amazing! I continue to celebrate her and give her new gifts of experience and love.
So I have concluded that this project must live on for a period. Please review the blog thus far to get the idea of the project. Should you like to have an Ojo Rojo marble to place somewhere meaningful send me your address and I'll send you one. Please take photos and share the where and why you chose that particular place.
Today I am taking a my mom to a Tropical Botanical Garden. We are going to look at the gardens, have a picnic and read a good book.
Happy Birthday!
To her Future Travels with You!
Love

Looking back on family history my great great grandmother came from Belgium to Mexico. While in Kagoshima Japan I met a woman in a hostile from Belgium. She got back to me this past August. My mom is leading an exotic afterlife. I must say, I'm a bit jealous.
"You gave me a little Ojo Rojo to bring back to Belgium.

I kept it for a while, not knowing where to leave it...

So it stayed with me and went to Köln (Germany, Winter Holidays), Insbruck (Austria, Carnival), Budapest (Hungary,Easter Holidays) and finally on my last summer trip: Bolivia.
I didn't take pictures every time, but I did in Bolivia, as I knew where I would like to leave it once back home... it was time to let go.

You will find the pictures in attachment.

The place I decided to leave it is in a park (Tervuren), in a tree, next to a bench and in front of a pond; in front a restored watermill that is now a social project with a cafe and cultural center (Het Spaans Huis).
I have known this park forever, this is where we used to do iceskating in the wintertime, where I learned to ride a bike, where I go walking the dog,.. it really is a lovely and paeceful place, just outside the city.

I am sorry that it took me so long to get back to you, I hope I didn't reopended a closed chapter...

I wish you all the best, thank you for trusting me back then, in Kagoshima.

If you ever come to Belgium, you are welcome to stay with us.
