Lost in Leuven
... br> Lost, Round 3
Another intern in my program, Jon, realized that our rail cards look similar to the Leuven bus passes. So if you flash your pass quick, the bus driver doesn't know the difference. The bus is just a 10 minute ride to the train station, which is ideal considering the blisters I've been forming from walking all that way. So I go with Jon to the train station, flashed my pass, and was golden. No problems. Then as I was coming home, I jumped on the bus, again ...

I just watched that on the tv in our room. Somehow though we got a few hours sleep ...
Leuven on Foot, Beer Tasting in Diest
... machine that has helpful information all printed in Dutch. So I give up and ask for assistance. This thing grinds it own beans, roasts them in a flash of seconds, then brews everything from espresso to latte and cappuccinos in a matter of minutes. It was pretty cool.
I finally can't stand it any longer and wake Marshall at 8:30 –I mean we have things to do; we can sleep when we get back to the States!
So we ...
