The Blog


Bonjour!

Here I am in my little apartment at the top of the house in Brussels, Belgium. Usually I am looking at the 'wall of hats', so I thought I would try a few on every now and then to share with you. Today is Saturday, my first day off, but it has been pouring down rain so I went to lunch with the family and walked around a little bit until I could no longer handle my unbrella getting blown about. I still have a lot more exploring to do--I am hoping that tomorrow will be sunnier or at least dryer. This afternoon we are going to a music shop to look at guitars for Daphne (the youngest daughter) and I hope to purchase a guitar stand for my guitar.

I haven't felt much like writing since I have been here and really don't feel much like writing at the moment. I want to keep everyone up to date though and since I am not much more in the mood for e-mailing I thought this would be the easiest way.

The sun just came out! The weather is very unpredictable here.

The children are lovely. Clarence, the youngest, is all smiles. He loves to hit a ball with a tennis racquet across the floor and could probably do this for hours. Daphne, the middle child, tends to play to herself, always humming a tune. Annabel, the oldest, speaks the best English so she loves to talk to me and always wants hugs and encouragment. The girls are not in school yet, so I have been trying to divide my attention between the three. It is very difficult when I don't speak French to communicate with them. I find that I am picking up some words here and there, but for the most part I am lost when they start to converse with one another. I can't decide whether it is better to stare with a blank look or just a silly "I have no idea what you are saying" face. I really just switch between the two.
