THE POND OF ESSAY
Activities: We took a walk there almost every day. We fed the ducks with some hard bread. "The mini-golf is always open, the pond and its ducks haven't moved..."
Highlights: The kids loved feeding the ducks. "Today, luckily, he [a fisherman] pulled a fish right in front of our little one, who was very impressed!" ✨
