5 days away from Maman: Day-1

Since she bought a miniature car "Taxi of New York City in 1947" a several days ago, New York has become THE DESTINATION for her.

This afternoon, we took a ride on Angouleme's city bus for fun.
"Amané, where is our bus heading to?"
"New Ork!"

... (after 20 minutes)

"Amané, we arrived at the terminal, let's get out." (St.Yrieix, outskirt of Angouleme)
"No! I want to go to New Ork!! (crying)"
