I got to spend a few days with my sister, Beth, in Hasselt Belgium this last week. Beth always seems to be going someplace where I want to go too. Over the last few years we've met up in Las Vegas, Chicago, and now Belgium. We don't get to spend lots of time together because she's working, but it's always nice to see a friendly face and catch up. Sometimes if it weren't for these impromptu sightings we might not see each other for way too long.
Belgium was a real treat for me, because the air is clean, the trains are so convenient and orderly, and the chocolate is incredible. There are also lots of Moroccans in Belgium and I have the remains of my last bit of henna which attracted some attention. I also found a great little bakery in Hasselt where the lady made rolls out of brioche which dripped with cream cheese and golden raisins. They were delicious. She also made an apricot stuffed pastry which was really nice. You can tell I am eating well!! My clothes still fit, which is somewhat miraculous. I think it is only trying to stay warm which is my main exercise. I thought Belgium was cold, but Holland is freezing and that is where I am right now.
