Videos of our vacation in North America or about our daily life in Boston.
A friend of mine offered me to see a roller derby game. I didn’t know anything about it but Arielle used to play in a team a few years ago and promised me to explain the rules. We went a Saturday night to a rink in Cambridge. It was usually used as an ice-skating rink, so they put some sort of layer of the floor. Still, my feet were frozen.

Last Sunday, we went on a long ride. At first, we just wanted to bike for no more than 2 hours, just the time to do the Minuteman bikeway, which passes through several historical sites in Boston suburbs.

Everything seems to be moving, the plants and the animals hiding here and there… The end of December was a really good time to appreciate the park: the swamp are not dry yet and there are not too many mosquitoes. We enjoyed the many landscapes and ecosystems without scratching our legs too much.
