Ce weekend

Finally starting to get over the jetlag ... I slept a total of 18 out of my first 24 hours here. The first couple pictures of me are very revealing of this fact. By Saturday though I was doing pretty well, and we walked around the city for most of the day.






This is at the top of a garden look down toward Grand Place. To the left, outside of the picture is the Royal Library of Belgium, which we went inside for a few moments for some water. It looked mostly like other libraries and wasn't extremely interesting.


Walking back from church--a French and English ward. Half of the talks are in English and half in French, they give everyone headphones with translations.

We received flowers for mothers day, i.e. because we are over 18 and have ovaries. It was a good meeting though, some really great speakers and lots of cute little French kids. The kid that handed us our flowers kind of threw them at us and ran away. As we were walking through the crowd toward the door, another little kid was driving his toy car up and down Leilani's leg.

Anyway, things have been great. We came home from church, took naps, cleaned the apartment (I slept through that luckily,) and then I walked to the corner store and bought baguette, a big bottle of Orangina, and chocolate ice cream.

We have the big window open and we're sitting around and reading, and doing who knows what on our laptops (this seems to take up most free time in a college student's life.) I ate some of the baguette and was scolded for getting crumbs on the floor. Lani is going to make us dinner. Then we may go on a stroll to buy more chocolate.
