And the Americans held out in the coldest winter weather on record, until relieved. It is an inspiring story of valor and perseverance. I never tire of walking around Bastogne and thinking about what happened there.

I had a pizza for dinner and came back to my room fairly early to get some work done on my laptop. Tomorrow will be another busy day.

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.

... boy on the bus and asked him if the bus was going where I needed to go. He said that he was also going where I was going (Ponttor) and that he could show me which bus to get on. It was funny, cause when I asked him that he answered and I immediately knew that German was not his native tongue. I guess perhaps my ear for German has become more refined after all..

Gaz's motor was struggling, and threatening to overheat, so we stopped to let it cool down.

With the vehicles all decorated with stickers, we attracted a bit of attention, and a Belgian couple took our ...

We saw lots of old churches from the 1500s and a castle/fort, which is in the pictures.

Also yesterday I signed the lease for my new apartment! Nil came with me and basically did all of the talking, and I am very grateful for that, because it would have been difficult to do by myself, signing ...

... but also beautiful little cakes and sandwiches, and of course beer, wine, champagne, and soda. That was pretty cool; I got a beer before the play and just sat and watched people... They are all so interesting!

Yesterday, Sunday, I got up early and got the newspaper and made some calls to try to find an apartment. It has been that I will call people who have ads in the paper and by the time I call, like 11am, the ...

This entry should have been posted last night, but I managed to fall asleep before I had the chance to finish it. Yesterday I woke up a bit before 6.30 to a cool but dry and sunny morning. It did rain a little during the night, but not too heavily. Sleeping in the tent was nice, perhaps not as nice as a comfy couch or bed even, but still nice. The place we stayed at was actually a private ...
