AileFroide

Beautiful Ailefroide

Arriving just in time for our dear friend Thomas's birthday
It is amazing to have met Thomas in San Diego while he was studying for the last 2.5 years
 and now reuniting with him in his home, France. We will miss him in the states
but know we will meet again on the rocks, beaches or fields of lavender. 

Hey Bruder FloBro!
Thinking of you!
