Elephant! Elephant!



Elephant #2



That has been Sabina's call whenever we take a walk around town. The Elephant Parade has come to Luxembourg, and the city is decorated with life-sized baby elephant sculptures in support of elephant conservation. These baby elephants, many designed by local artists, have traveled across the world, and there are 55 of them scattered across the capital. The girls are bent on finding them all. Jackson couldn't care less. But we still make him take a picture or two.

In October, these babies will be auctioned off to raise funds for the Asian Elephant Foundation. Sophia asked if we could buy one. Each piece will likely go for thousands of euros; we think she'll have to settle for one of the smaller knockoffs from the Elephant Parade store.
