Hotel St James Mons

... relaxed, then got dressed and headed for a night on the town!! We found this very cute and cool restaurant, where we sat upstairs looking right into the kitchen, which was perfect for Grace as she could spy on the hot Chef! We ate some more chips, had a drink, and then moved on to a pub that was a little crazy inside, so we got some drinks and sat outside under the heaters. After a couple of drinks there, we eventually decided ...

... little streets lined with beautiful homes, church spires peeking through the scenery and the grand plazas where festivals and market are held each week. Because we had a late start to Brugge, we didn't spend a lot of time in Mons but each moment was completely memorable. Chris gave me the history of the surrounding buildings and funny little superstitions including rubbing the head of the brass monkey on the steps of the town hall for good luck! It's off to Brugge...

Har naa tilbrakt 4 dager i Brussel. Synes ikke byen er spesielt flott, men den har jo sjokoladen og alle de forskjellige olene, saa klarer oss fint. Har besokt NATO, EU Commision, sjokolademuseumet og White & Chase advokatfirma. Ellers har jeg drukket folgende ol: sjokolade, kirsebaer, bringebaer og noe annet i dag. Og i butikkene faar man gratis sjokolade-smaksprover - det er ikke dumt.

... years behind in experience. Some of the girls on my team have only been playing for a couple of years. That makes all the difference. With the Athletics, every practice is broken up into different drills, challenges, and activities to work on. No practice is the same as another. They are fun, quick, and to the point. If we mess up, we do push ups. If we are standing, we do push ups. David likes to have us moving the full 2hrs. He ...

... the ashes were falling our faces. Another neat thing was the variety of shops, stands, and food which flooded most of the streets of mons. I opted for the food ofcourse and bought a coconut ball (a cookie made of coconut and sugar basically)..very good. The only downfall of the doudou was because of the ridiculous amount of people that were there, everyone would just pee in the streets and you could often smell it...not cool. Aside from the doudou I ...

... The cars, houses, the food portions, even the people are smaller. Cars park closer together, houses are connected to each other, people drive bumper to bumper. Drinking glasses are an actual cup, not a glass that fits a quart. Life here is seems short and sweet. On the contrary, work ethic and physical activity on a daily basis beats the U.S. 10-1. People here walk everywhere and when they do drive, they park a mile from their ...

Tim and I came here for a long weekend for our first marriage anniversary. We took Eurostar from London for the first time. The weather was fantastic for April... just like July. Brussels is very compact, very international and very delicious. We indulged with the sea food and enjoyed the sightseeing. Very lovely, enjoyable getaway for celebrating our first year!

... station and while having a coke, we observed a couple outside the restaurant having an argument. They were scratching and stabbing away at each other with their fingers and even though she was doing pretty good and stood up to him, he would get in her face and finger-point between her eyes and make ugly faces and then point two fingers like vampires' teeth at her. Then he'd walk off in fury only to wheel around and return for ...

... flight OV178, leaving at 9 am and arriving in Tallinn at 12:45. - My language preparations have been a disaster. Learning a language with a cd or cassette is not very motivating to me. Let's hope i can practice a bit in Estonia. - The things I want to see have just been extended to include Viljandi as well. There is a festival of medieval music that I want to attend. let's see how it works out with my planning.

... room, at half the cost. When we moved to the hotel section we found the toilet was up a flight of stairs and the only shower was one floor down. In the shower the water was slow to go down, we had to keep pressing a button, there was no way of adjusting the water (though it was set at a good temperature) and the mirror fell off the door onto Yoong. In the room itself the main light didn't work and, though the room looked nice and clean, we got bitten by mosquitoes, and ...
