We finally arrived in Belgium after a very long flight. We left Los Angeles at 8:50 a.m (on time) and arrived in Philadelphia at 4:10 p.m. (local time). There was originally a 3 hr. layover but it turned out to be more like a 5 hour stop. So we arrived in Belgium at 11:15 a.m. local time (which is around 2:00 a.m. California time). We were very fortunate to have our friends Luc and Anita meet us at the airport which was a huge blessing. Although we had not slept very much all night we decided that we would take advantage of the company of our friends and tour some of Brussels. We had lunch with them at a local cafe and then went to visit The Grand Place, The Mannequin Pis, and downtown Brussels. We refueled our bodies with Belgium waffles with Belgium covered chocolate and strawberries to which Alec was not complaining! The weather here is kind of cool and drizzly, but not to cold. We will tour the countryside today with our friends and hopefully log on tomorrow morning to keep you all informed of our day.

Hi family! I'm glad you guys are having fun. Sounds like you haven't rested very much, but you can do that when you come home.:) Alec, how did you like the Mannequin Pis? You finally got to see it! What was he wearing? Enjoy the countryside and especially the chocolate! xoxo
The Mannequin Pi's was fun seeing in person. He was wearing a bellhop uniform. We will share pictures when we return.
