The Beautiful Bloggers of Brussels

My friend Cindy Lane threw another great party last night. In attendance were many of the bloggers I have met through my time in Brussels. Even though we all met through the internet, we had a great time getting to really know each other in person, versus just over a computer screen. Meeting someone through blogging is a funny way to start a friendship because it is like you instantly know an incredible about of information about the person before you have even spoken. It was almost to the point of creepy how quicky we could talk about personal things. I had only met a few of these women once before, but upon seeing each other we were immediately able to jump into conversations like, "How was your trip home? I think you should sell your house in VA and move because the commute sounds horrible. How was it having your sister visit?"

To learn as much about them as I know, check out some of their blogs!

Emily, I think the story you and Kyle told in the kitchen may have been the best story of the night. Woof, woof. That's all I'm gonna say.

Great to see you and to meet Kyle. Next time we meet, I'll have to bend his ear on what's hot in financial journalism.

Sounds like I missed a great party!!

Isn't the internet great! I've really enjoyed when the Belgian bloggers get together; it's like an instant friendship when you've read the person's blog. Looking forward to seeing you soon!
