Davina visits the European Parliament

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Parliament

Here in Strasbourg, for one week a month, the European Parliament comes to town, clogging up our streets and filling up hotels. Once a year, we get to see the inside. Talia had a birthday party and Ronnie was with Daniel visiting cousins so I took Davina.

I knew it had been a long day for her when she wasn't enraptured. Usually, animals of any type hold her attention!
