I am finally winding down from a long and wonderful day. I am ici, safe and sound, in Belgium. My travels started on thursday from DFW to Newark. I sat next to a nice couple going to a wedding in Edinburgh; In Newark, a girl stopped me because she recognized my hideous rotary jacket. She was super sympa and we chatted. She went to Germany a couple of years back. Then I got pleasantly harrassed by this Jamaican guy who wasn´t bad looking. He had noticed my Ambassador to Belgium nametag and ´Became´my body guard and asked people if they had met the ambassador. I couldn´t stop laughing! When I landed I was worried nothing would go right. I was wrong thank goodness!! And customs didn´t check my bags! The bruwiers met me with a bienvenue alison sign. The children were Julie, Anne-Sophie and cousin Lionel. We drove from Brussels to Retinne and it was an awesome ride. everything was so new. The cars are so efficient looking here and fun to drive! (not that I can) Anne-sophie drove Julie, cousin Louise, and me around Herve after I met my host dad´s parents who were super nice. Then later Anne-sophie drove me to Liege to pick up Damien and her boyfriend. Liege is way cooler than people described it. Then Damien said to me regarde a gauche ( look to the left) and there were prostitutes in shop windows! I think I love Europe!!! I also had some really good cheese today. I am getting off before I pass out on the keyboard.
Communicating is easier than I thought, but still complicated.
I am looking out the window and seening really pretty cows.

I MISS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wrote you this HUGE long message but it's on the other computer, and I got kicked off before I was finished. Probably better anyway. It went on for AGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm glad you had a "bodyguard" ^_~ Who's Damien though? He's not the antichrist or anything right?
And really? Prostitutes in the windows? Brings I whole new meaning to window-shopping though, huh?
Not much has gone on here so far. Except that the adv. drama class (mine, and what would have been your class *blows a rassberry*) is really pushing to do The Bad Seed as our straight play this year. Only problem is we need someone REALLY tiny to play the little girl. And we can't have an older person try to look young like Alice in Wonderland either. We threw around the idea that if all else failed I could do it because I'm so short. But we'd have to strap me in with (practically) an iron corset, so that would, well, pretty much suck.
It's weird though, 'cause now that you're not here, it really weirds me out that hanging out with you isn't an option this weekend. Because before, I spent a lot of weekends alone in my lair. But now that your not here, it's bothersome. I don't know if that makes a lot of sense. Anyway. I HAVE been checking your blog every single day as promised ^_^ I may slip up a few times in ten months, but I'm making it top priority not to. I decided though that it would be silly to post something every single day because that would just be tiring to you. But just so you know, if I don't post something, it doesn't mean I didn't check it. And if you post something, I will most definetly comment back. ^_^
What's the time diffence there anyway?
MISSSSSSSSSSSS YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey sounds like everything is working out for you. After you settle in and get used to the time changes you will have t update with your first impressions and pictures.
namaste,
Adam
I'm glad your travels went so smoothly. I went to my friend's wedding in Florida two weeks ago, and my luggage got lost on the way back. Actually, Southwest described it as a "failure to load." Boo. Anyway, they eventually delivered my suitcase to my door, and I got a $25 travel voucher. Score. Anyway, have fun in Belgium. Are you going to learn how to milk a cow???
