At the Black Sea

At the beginning of June we spent a few days at the Black Sea, in Eforie Nord, with our friends Dan, Lili, Luca and Eva and also my aunt Mio who joined us for a day there.

Mio, Maria and Will in our first day at the sea

So nice to be back at the Black Sea after more than 10 years

Maria and daddy hiding from the sun

"Love being on my feet in the sand"

Daddy time

on an empty beach in Eforie Nord

"I had enough sun; now it's time for a nap"

what a cutie!

Maria and mummy out for dinner

I love to be on the beach

"look at my foot!"

it's so hot, I really need a pony-tail

moon over the Black Sea

how lovely was to spend time with our friends, Dan, Lili, Luca and Eva

Luca taking out Maria for dinner. What a gentleman!

Maria's Christening

On a cold and rainy day, Maria was baptized in Sf. Gheorghe Orthodox Church in Brasov. Here are some pictures from the event.
