New front door

In January, I turned 40. In Flemish, they say you get 'a new front door' when the first number changes, so basically every 10 years. I wasn't looking forward, but in the end it wasn't that painful at all ;-)
I started my day by having a haircut...
Flowers arrived, gorgeous earrings from my family and lost of other gifts from friends and neighbours.
A drink with the girlfriends...

What's missing from 2014 (July)

In the beginning of July, Remo was invited to attend a conference in Cancun, Mexico. I didn't have to think twice when he proposed me to join him.
An amazing hotel on the Playa del Carmen
Ruins of The Mayan city Tulum situated on tall cliffs overlooking the Caribbean Sea (04/07/2014)

With a height of 42 meters, this pyramid in Coba is the tallest on the Yucatan peninsula. (05/07/2014)
Not only is it the tallest pyramid, it is apparently also the only one you can climb. With just a rope to help you, it is quite a steep climb and a rather scary looking descent.
But the pyramid litterally lifts you out of the jungle and lets you enjoy this amazing view.

city of Vallodolid
... where you can have a Mayan pancake!
You might wonder where the kids were... well, they were enjoying themselves at their grandparents' in Cesenatico!
When we took the kids back to Genoa, their little cousin Ginevra decided she wanted to come home with us. So she did! And we loved it!
