Blue is my favorite color!

Natan's Quotes of the Day

For some time now Natan's favorite color has been blue.
Everything had to be blue, but today as we start
to walk through the forest of blue flowers I ask
"Natan, isn't it amazing so many blue flowers?"
"Yes," he replies, "it is just a pity they are not yellow."
"Yellow is my new favorite color."

Today we acted like expats living in Belgium and visited the infamous Bluebell forest. I had heard about it many times from friends, but never seen it and not one Belgian I talked to has not only seen it, but has not heard of it. It is a forest just outside of Brussels that during two weeks at the end of April has thousands of Bluebells (wild hyacinths) in bloom.

It was pretty nasty, but typical, Belgium weather today, but you have to go anyway or you would spend your whole life indoors waiting for the rain to stop. We packed up our umbrellas, rain jackets, rain boots and snacks and set off to find the forest of blue!
It was really really beautiful. Like nothing you could ever even imagine! The good thing was we got there early before the crowds of people, so we could walk around and enjoy the peace of the forest and the wonderful site, but as we were leaving there were almost as many people as flowers.
