We have been quite busy over here in Brussels with guests, going away parties, and getting to know you luncheons. Rebecca was here for a week, after finishing up her study abroad in Florence, Italy. We took her around Brussels and then explored farther out into Belgium. One day was spent in Antwerp touring around. The town has a great vibe and seemed like a good place to go back to visit again. The next was spent in Knokke, which is a beach town on the coast of Belgium. When we first got there we noticed all of these stand-up partitions that divided everyone out on the beach. We thought it all seemed crazy until we actually tried to lay out on the beach ourselves. The wind blew at such a high speed that you needed the dividers as wind breakers! We packed our sunscreen, but ended up wearing our fleeces instead. The best part about the wind was the beautiful sailboats in the water and amazing kites in the air.
I had one afternoon to wash the sheets and towels before our next guest arrived. Stephen, the brother of Leslie Buschbom (who is now married to Ivy Cadle--both friends from UGA) has been backpacking through Europe after finishing up his study abroad in New Zealand. He was only stopping through Brussels for a night, but we had enough time to show him around and (hopefully) give him a good taste of Brussels.
