Updates from Brussels!
This weekend there is this large Belgian Beer Festival in Grand Place. A bunch of tents with different Belgian breweries and you buy beer caps to get in, and you trade them for beers. Seems like a great idea, but they let too many people in at once and you can't quite move enough to make it fun. But hey, we tried! A homeless-ish guy was talking to us from the other side of the fence and kind of creeped us out, so when he asked our names I told him my name was Petunia ;) He believed me!
We checked out of there and stopped into our favorite specialty beer store (we've been in there several times already) to grab one for the road, and the woman was nice enough to give them to us for free! Couldn't believe it! We just love Brussels so much. Rachel isn't feeling so hot, might be coming down with something, so we are back at the hostel tonight to chill and relax. Tomorrow we might do a little more shopping, but pretty much lay low since it's almost time to go and we're just so exhausted. We are in a 4 bed room this time, and there were a couple Lebanese guys there last night who were super nice (Bri - one of them looked like he could have been Pete's brother!!). Tonight we have a Brazilian dude who doesn't say much, and a British guy, Ed who seems cool. This hostel is better than the last one, clean for the most part and more modern. Lots of young people hang out in the common area and it's pretty relaxing so far.
We've had a great time, but are so ready to come home! We miss you all!
