Hello Everyone!
I am finally getting time to write a blog about my time so far in Belgium. I guess I always had time but, relaxing in the sun was a bit more appealing. I arrived on Monday evening to Belgium and was greated by a loving Belgium sister and we drove to her house in La Hulpe; Belgium. By the time you drive through the crazy city it takes only about 30-40mins to get to the house. Dinner consited of white asparagus, flemish style omelett and then some bread to add to the meal. Dessert was some dark chocolate and tea. If I could bring some of this tea back just to smell I would. The tea smelt so good! Ge (my family's former host daughter) and myself went for quick walk and then I went to bed.
Yesterday, Tuesday I went with Ge to the center of Brussels and walked around while she did an interview. I have to admit I was lost for a while. However, all the places quickly became familiar to me and I enjoyed walking around the area. After a quick nap there was again a great dinner ready to eat. This time we had Fishermans Stew with some top quality seafood. After dinner we went to a French play at the university and I tried to follow the story line even though I dont know French! It was great to see the play and experience something new and unknown.
Today has been great it is very sunny and the perfect temp outside! I started my day with a walk to the park (not like the park in Chippewa but amazing with a beautiful mansion) and then decided to go for a run. I ran along many of the trails and took in the amazing beauty of the park. I will take pictures next time I bring my camera there. After walking back to the house I read a book outside and then made some lunch. Now, I am just getting in from reading again and then Ge and I will go for a bike ride! It has been a wonderful day!
I promise I will post pictures soon!
