Some of this year‘s carnival floats in #Duesseldorf designed by the great Jacques Tilly, who btw stands trial (in absence) in Russia because of his floats. What bigger acknowledgement can there be?

Went for a walk with the little ones today. We often walk along the old medieval rampart. There‘s still old towers left such as the „Dicke Turm“ from the 15th century, which translates into „Fat Tower“ due to its enourmous size and its 3.5 meters thick wall.

"[Retranchement] was first mentioned in 1627 as "Een groot en seer sterck Retrenchement". Retrenchement is a type of sconce. The village is named after Retranchement Cadsandria which was built around 1622 to protect against the Spanish troops, and consists of a wall with bastions with a sconce on either side. The fortification was built by Maurice, Prince of Orange to control the Zwin and protect the recently conquered harbour of the Sluis." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retranchement

We‘re spending our holidays in #thenetherlands near the #belgian boarder and we‘re having a blast. Living in the center of Europe opens up so many posibilities. There are so many different cultures and languages close by.

It‘s 30°C right now. What better to do than alternating between relaxing in the shade and jumping into the pool? ☺️☀️

Got up early to get my first shot of desensitization. I love walking around in town early in the morning when most people are still sleeping. Especially when there‘s a blue sky greeting me. 🙂

The weather today was really nice. So the four of us went on a little hike through the woods and checked out a new playground there as well. We had a blast.
