Ending the year 2013 with a swamp tour through the Atchafalaya, America's largest river basin swamp, was an unforgettable experience. We discovered the landscape with their beautiful cypress trees in her winter mood. Luckily that this one day one of the alligators wasn't in his hibernation.
More than one million of lights shined everywhere during the Zoo Lights.
Again, another light spot in this holiday season. We walked through an enchanted forest with its fairytale trees. The Zoo was transformed into a wonderfully whimsical place.
May the New Year offer plenty of magical moments like these.
What an amazing American family tradition this is, seeing The Nutcracker ballet every Christmas Season. This time the Houston Ballet had taken me with their awesome production into a real Christmas spirit.
