"First Daze"

We have been in Etterbeek for a day and a half now and it has been very eventful.  We were on our way to Crainhem to go to a Carrefour  for school supplies for Jordan, Peyton and Evan and we walked into a Carnaval  Parade.  Of course we had to stop and get pictures and dance with the green characters - well I convinced Elizabeth, Evan and Jordan.  If I had danced, the party would have been over and my visa revoked.

On the way out of the subway station Elizabeth ran into a sign pole, because she was involved in a deep conservation.    Before those two exciting events everything has been going very well.  We landed in Brussels on Thursday afternoon and walked the rest of the day.  We went to the bank and were referred to another bank. The next day we finished the appointment and maybe on Monday we will have money available.  Also on Thursday we activated temporary phones - $35 for 60 minutes.

Tomorrow we are going to a French language church that is attended by the Leader of the Protestant Synod.  We are really looking forward to it!

More to follow!

P.S. to Larry - to your list "First Daze" you should add "Watch out for metal posts in the middle of the sidewalk".  Elizabeth has a big goose-egg on her forehead.
