I am getting some pictures up and updateing everyone on the last few days of my trip. The last blog post I wrote talked about the rose garden I was going to see for the day. I have posted two pictues from the walk in the garden but, on facebook you can see more. The rose garden was amazing and the smell was intoxicating. There were roses featured from all different countries. Some countries were better than others. The most amazing was Japan!! Before we walked through the garden we visited at a friends "house" next to the park. The house was old and beautiful. I saw only a few rooms but I knew that I wanted the house. The house belonged to a good friend of Ge's mom and then there were some other family friends there as well. We ate ice cream with Strawberries and had after coffee chocolates. It was a wonderful way to spend the day.

Sunday I woke up a bit earlier than my usual time and got ready to go to church. I was very interested in going to a church in Europe to see the differences. I requested that before we went to the market that we go to church. The church we went to was St. George church and it was tiny. The size was no bigger than a bedroom and fit about 30-40 people. The mass was catholic and only lasted about 35 mins. I was introduced to the people who own the church and heard the history behind it. It was the cutest church you will find. After church Ge's mom and I went to the Old Town of Brussels and spend time at the flee market. It was a huge market in a large square with a marching band that walked around the square playing. There were also other traditional beligum music being played and people everywhere. I walked around and saw some great antiques. I bought a couple of scarves (of course) and then a little something for my sister. I had a nice lunch in a old Belgium pub. In the evening we ate some steak that was from Ireland and then got ready to go see a movie. The movie was Lincoln Lawyer with two of my favorite actors. Matthew McConaughey and Josh Lucas. Great movie to see and I hope to buy it when I get back.
Yesterday was raining off and on throughout the day. I spend some time researching for Italy and London. (Still looking for a place to stay in Italy!) I caught up on pictues and backing everying up on the external harddrive. I spend some time finishing my book I was reading and then started some packing for my trip that starts on Wedneasday. I walked around the center of La Hulpe and found a 10 euro bill laying on the ground! (My birthday present I guess.) I spent the rest of the day just relaxing and watching some episodes of The Big Band Theory on the computer. Dinner was pasta with a cream sauce and a bunch of shrimp!
