I love that the name of the city ryhmes with the food it is famous for, please everyone bear with me on puncuation, the keyboard here is quite different and I found the comma, but the period is more elusive. Qnd the Q is where the A should be.

Today has been very fun, explqnqtion point. Brussels is an interesting blend of Amsterdam and Paris. Today I set out for some sightseeing. I was really flattered because men kept stopping me and insisting that I come into their restaurant and drinking for free. My first drink un cafe... he said Pardon pardon; tu es tres jolie madmoiselle, please I make drink for you? Then again, then 5 times more. Now I have 12 phone numbers in my pocket. The coffee was quite good though... its kindof like espresso, it came in a little teacup that clinked when I set it down or stirred it. None of these men speak much English, and yet they still want to marry me.Which has been very confusiing at times. I guess that would be the perfect marriage, a man who couldnt understand a word I say.... yet loved Me madly anyway. Atleast I havent had to buy any of my own meals.

The architecture here is absolutely amazing. I got really lost today and walked extremely far. That is the best way to get to know a city. Make sure to check out the pictures.

Katie What a riot. You had me laughing, you funny woman. Glad you found your cord nice pics. I had two years of French and feel Spanish is the better choice. Did you find the Mario Bros yet Love DaD
