The open-air gorilla space gave them room to live as a tribe, and the behaviors that developed were both eerie and whimsical. The aquarium, and especially the rays gliding overhead, were silent dreams; the savannah was still under construction but it looks fully finished now.

My husband was telling me today that I don't eat enough bread. I came from a country that drilled it in you that bread and other carbs were sinful and would go straight to your hips. <br />I have been told even by dietitians that 6-8 slices of bread a day is healthy. I couldn't imagine eating that much without looking like a loaf.Candeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03389578853300516629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332097291183597458.post-34506864931890941702011-02-04T04:16:43.811-08:002011-02-04T04:16:43.811-08:00They are delicious and the variations are infite. ...They are delicious and the variations are infite. I am still amazed at how the Dutch love to put everything on bread and they consider it as proper food, while in other parts of the world, bread is only something to nibble on or sth to push the main food around on your plate. <br />But for me, the crown of all the bread love is the <i>broodje gehakt</i>: the idea of having a (round) huge meatball on a bun is somehow funny.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06923613028048879472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332097291183597458.post-85444792771184704932011-02-01T13:33:32.646-08:002011-02-01T13:33:32.646-08:00LOL Lytha No I don't have one.

I was actually pretty impressed because he hates to anything creative like that. He painted the boot and we used some puffy paint to make the laces..lol<br /><br />I think thats a neat thing to do. As Jacob complained about it we told him this wasnt at all about him..but taking the time to make something nice for someone else. To think about that other person and design a gift jus for them. So he went to the store every other day making sure he bought her the right candy. I think he has a bit of a crush on her :) He was horrible at the poem part.
