Ahhhh Europe

I arrived in Paris safe and sound. Although it seemed to be a pain in the butt as soon as I got off the plane so I went right from the airport to Brussels.

Sprouting in Brussels

This is a silly little city, coined the capitol of Europe. Not very many people here speak English which has been both a blessing and a burden. Blessing when the token freaky dude is hitting on you, burden when... oh say, you want to eat.

It seems very old world here. Cobblestone roads and little kids playing futbol on the sidewalks and in the roads. Today is rainy and yucky so I'm tempted to sleep off my jetlag then explore some more tomorrow.

This hostel is really nice. It's like an outdoor mini-mall filled with rooms. Vincent Van gogh (pronounced Van Hogh here) used to work here back in the day.

So for those of you expecting pictures your going to have to be patient because my forgetful self left the adapter to my camera in PA. But I will figure something out.... I promise.

More on Europe soon!!

Love to you all!!
