Jaey walked me to the train station the scenic way, by the park he took me to when I arrive the first time. It was just as lovely this time around, and I was sad to be leaving.

Belgium waffles and such
... family, like a second home. I also think they thought we were American which didn’t help. I ordered a Fanta and Lilly went to the bathroom, as I was waiting a few of them still kept glancing at me, like “what the **** is this guy doing in here” Other local men walked in and they were greeted by name and handed drinks without ordering.
