Little Weekend Getaway

Inner Space Cavern in Texas @ http://patacolorcarnet.weebly.com/carnet-de-voyage
Hello! Dear readers!!!
I hope my post will find you well today.
I just want to share with you my little getaways that I call little adventures. Last week, I went to Mena a little city in the State of Arkansas. However, I went there to sit and breathe the fresh air in the natural landscape. I like sometimes to go out of town this is something that I have been doing with my parents and I still enjoy doing it today. When I went to Washington DC, I had the same experience because sometimes the noise of the city can be too much. I am a woman from a little country in Africa and I was raised liking and loving Mother Nature. I would like to share my experience as a child and as a grown up person back in the days when I was going out of town in a special post...That happened in my country Gabon. Hmmm... I will just do that and people will have an idea of how it is to spend little vacations in an African village (I love it and I really miss it!) It is so interesting!
From now on I am preparing my trip to Africa and I hope to visit five countries within 1 or 2 months at a time. You know flight tickets to Africa is so so expensive!!! I wonder why? hmmm let's see... I will definitely share this experience with pictures of course. I have some childhood friends who are so ready to welcome me there yay!!! I hope to go to rural areas and do interesting activities with the local people. Each country in Africa has its lifestyle when it comes to culture and so forth. I simply love it!
Mena, Arkansas@ http://patacolorcarnet.weebly.com/carnet-de-voyage
About Mena in Arkansas, I think we went too early for the season...I don't know... Maybe we should have waited for Summer to do this trip...but anyway that was good still I just want to thank my friend for making me discovering this place. My friend is among the few people who have been so nice to me here in America. I really mean it...Humble person and really respectful no drama always trying to help whenever I need help. You need that kind of person because people can be...well you know...out there and it is always good to talk with good hearts, good souls.
If you want to have an idea of Mena's landscape you can click on my other link here: http://patacolorcarnet.weebly.com/carnet-de-voyage I have pictures that I posted.
The recent interesting experience was the one I did on Friday! I visited the Inner Space Cavern in a little city named Georgetown in Texas. Ok! It has nothing to do with Georgetown in Washington DC. It is way different lol!! I had so much fun! I share the pictures and some videos of the tour as well. I liked it a lot!
Garden of flowers at Fort Worth @ http://patacolorcarnet.weebly.com/carnet-de-voyage 
          I also went again to Fort Worth to take a time walking at the gardens. Fort Worth is at 2 hours from Dallas area if I remember exactly. I don't go there often. Fort Worth is a nice city with many museums and many gardens. I like flowers and I am in love with flowers really! They are so beautiful. You can talk to them they listen to you because they are so beautiful. My mum has a "green hand"(translated from a French expression) she likes to plant and everything that she plants always grows well. She takes good care of them and she talks to them they listen, they are happy and they grow well.
I recently bought some beautiful flowers for my bedroom's balcony. They make me smile every morning when I wake up. I say hi to them (Hi! Ladies how are you?) and you can feel that they reply back at you with their wonderful colorful smile!

 Ok! I guess I said all for the weekend getaway! Thank you for reading my post and to visit my Patacolor Carnet blog. Some of the posts are in French but you will like the pictures though.
           I will have a post about how is it to live in America? My friends and some people have always asked me that question. Well, I will share my own experience and some advices to those who are interested. I will have a video or videos in French because they have often asked me that question. I will be genuinely honest and...yes! I can't write it in English because it takes time to translate and edit it. Sometimes I can have the wrong words but I will put some ideas in English for other readers as well. But I can just say I can write a whole book about that experience. The up and the down. I laughed, I cried I mean, I had everything happened to me. People can have a kind of idea which is definitely not true...People have to see and live it first.
What am I going to do after America? Hmmm let's see. I have plenty of interesting ideas and I hope to share them soon as I will be in the next step of my life. I hope to leave with my stuffed animals and also a real adopted puppy dog that I will name America! America as a memory of my life in the country (Smiling) I will take him with me everywhere. I know the breed that I will choose already and maybe I will take two dogs instead? One will be America and the other one will be named Texas after the State because I live here. well...let's see!
You don't share everything but what you share should help or inspire someone else. We are humans and life is...life. There are many surprises that can happen.
 I also wanted to share with you another beautiful song in a Native American language that I found on www.youtube.com. I really love it! Few years ago I bought a CD album of Native American flutes. that album is wonderful and relaxing! I simply love it. Please Enjoy and admire the Beauty of Creation. To me God is Great!!
Well, I send you love and sun from Dallas! Thank you for reading this post and you are welcome to visit my other link at :http://patacolorcarnet.weebly.com/carnet-de-voyage
