... Ann and meet the family. We are looking forward to some Scottish craziness! Other than that we are looking to have Christmas at home with a roast and the company of some housemates (not all 9, there will only be 4 of us). I will be looking forward to Skyping during Tacky Present time!!!

So that is all from us, we hope everyone is doing well at home. We love and miss everyone!!!

Auf Wiedersehen, Tot ziens and Au revoir

Lots of love

... there are 192 members of the UN with only 7 official and working languages. If Turkey becomes a member of the EU it will of course add another language to this mess. Of course, not even a super-human translator could manage to translate all languages, so often the translators have to listen to each other before they can translate. For example, if a Slovenian MP is speaking in Slovenian, perhaps the Swedish translator doesn’t speak Slovenian ...

... assured me that even when the reception desk was closed, there was somewhere I could drop off my luggage so I didn't have to wait around. And there is a luggage storage room....but it's in the hostel, in an area that you can't get to until you check in, so I ended up sitting around in cafes and a public library for 2h until I could put my things down. Thankfully, the day got much better after that. After just an afternoon ...

... is done by people who love to travel so they appreciate other travelers and this makes for some awesome hosts. I really hope that someday I will be able to return the generosity of some of these people to other fellow travelers. Next trip...Kansas City, for some good ol' family time. So looking forward to seeing my family, eating my mother's wonderful food and I hope stocking up on some much needed love so I can return to La France invigorated and ready to tackle the second part of my journey here!

... encounters along the way with the occasional speedy cyclist who slows down to ride along with me for a few kilometers. I am staying today in the lovely 17th Century home of Patrick and Marie in the heart of Nivelles. It is truly a pleasure to see eachother again. Thank you for all your kindness and support, Patrick, Marie, Catherine and Benoît. À la prochaine Ainaz

... for a drink, so I went since I was bored. Apparently he thinks Americans are stupid sluts and very loose because all he watches is celebrities....he was a ****ing idiot. He basically asked me to sleep with him.....gross! He also asked if I wanted to move to Brussels and live with him and to get a job there.....no thank you! Finally I got away from him, and walked back to my hotel :)

... tiny 'Maneken Pis' fountain is very famous here??? Headed right out to the 'Gran Pla',...the ...

... much. Then, I started to watch Man bites dog (C'est arrive près de chez-vous) a Belgian satire movie... which I couldn't finish as I was too tired and I talked with Ingrid who arrived from job. ----------------- September 15 I woke up late, lazy too, I finished the movie and then later worked on the computer some more with what I could do with the connection. Its been mostly like that, looking outside a bit for the hot but cloudy day. I ate what I could find but ...

Nadia and I braved the cold morning,and for Nadia nasty hangover as we headed off to Brussels and Brugge for the Christmas Markets. It was an interesting trip as the heating decided to pack it in about half the way over on the bus and as it had started to snow it was a little chilly. We arrived into Brussels about just after lunch and it was time to check out the city and ...

... great performers but since I had never seen The Roots, I had to miss most of Grandaddy. Saturday, I spent most of my time at the Pyramid Marquee since almost every band there kicked ass. I think my favorite new band of the weekend was a band called Something Corporate from Santa Monica(?). They reminded me a bit of Ben Folds Five with the singer being an amazing piano player who really got the crowd going, including dancing on the keys of the piano in the middle of a jam (he must have ...
