Today was the coldest July day in nine years in Belgium. And we loved it! It got all the way up to 60 degrees Fahrenheit. It rained most of the day and the wind was 15 mph from the west (the North Sea). Everything was just the way we thought it would be here. We started out the day with our Bible reading; we ate Muesli (hot of course) and drank our coffee. We did some computer work, including checking email, facebook and the expats site. Elizabeth went up to the 5th floor to have her weekly French conversation with a neighbor. We had a sandwich for lunch and then went shopping at City Centre 2. There are amazing sales in July - it is kind of like the Friday after Thanksgiving. Everyone anticipates the "Soldes". We don't need much, so we didn't buy anything. But it is a great chance to people-watch. We had a snack of somosas from the Indian snack counter in the food court. We studied French for awhile so that we don't forget everything we learned for the last few months. Now we are watching French TV shows. In the summer we have also been going on long hikes in large parks, 90 minutes at a time. We are also planning and getting ready for fall events. This is our life in the Summer.
