Hotel Du Moulin Ligneuville

During our stay in Spa we had the most scary, horrible, unpleasant experience ever in a restaurant.

The restaurant to avoid is "Le Bouchon Gourmand", the owner does not hesitate to insult customers, lock them into the restaurant if there is a dispute on the bill, and claim more money than is due.

... nice and made me feel good. Then, when I was cooking some dinner, she came up and gave me a blanket, sheet set, and some tea candles. She also has given Nil a wooden spoon, a strainer, and two dish towels for me. Isn't that sweet??? I thanked her tons and gave her a hug when she left. So now I have a few less items to buy to make my new place feel like home.

Well Nil just got home and she is going to eat a bit of food with Markus and ...

... They told us we were at the highest point in Belgium, which was somewhere in the Nature Park.

We decided to call it a day for the roadbook, and make a detour to just get into Luxembourg for fuel, and to make sure we 'did' all the countries.

Looking back that detour cost us some time, but did mean we visited Luxembourg, even if it was too dark to see it.

... Markus are going to a friend's house for dinner, so I am going to through a raging party here. HAHA. Not really, who would I even invite? Guess I could go get some people off the street and bring them up, doesn't that sound like fun? :/

Actually tonight at St. Elisabeth there is an organ/sax concert that I read about in the paper, and I was planning on going to that. Sounds like it could be interesting. I ...

So I am sitting in my first class at school now. It's a German class. The students are supposed to be reading a story and I am trying to type very quietly…

I was busy yesterday. Well the day before yesterday I went to an office in Aachen like city hall and registered myself and my address . It was the first part of a two part process that I have to complete in order to stay here ...

... for me!

Yesterday we had an amazing lunch! The neighbor lady cooked it. It was meat and onions wrapped in cabbage in a brown sauce. We had potatoes and cabbage to go with it. Either I was very hungry, or it was delicious. I also made zucchini bread to go with it, and they loved it! MMmmm it was so good.. Then after lunch I had to take like a 2 hour nap because I ate so much, haha.

Well thats all for now. More soon!

... I will get to practice my German, I will know someone around my age in the city and will probably meet more people through my roommate, and it is cheaper to have a roommate. Will let you know how it turns out.

Today is Saturday. I am going to the theater tonight to see the premiere of "Nathan the Wise," and I am very excited about that. I read the book in English for one of my classes and really ...

... for a while and enjoyed the pleasant weather, a change from Berlin's heat wave, and then cleaned up before Lukas' wife Judith got home from work. After getting some groceries, putting Aaron to bed, and making some tasty kebabs, we stayed outside at the table with a few beers and good conversation about the world. Next morning, Lukas and Aaron guided us through Aachen's historic center, which has been very well preserved and is quite attractive ...

The scenery outside on the ride from Cologne to Aachen wasn't as pretty as that from Frankfurt to Cologne, but it was a short trip of about 45 minutes so I wasn't too fussed. After some confusion at a station in Aachen's outer suburbs (is this where I get off the train?! Does anyone speak english?!), it wasn't long before I was in Aachen's main train station.

My contact from head office, Dirk, picked me up and took me to my ...
