rouge à lèvres: Brussels, Day 7

Brussels, Day 7

Another low key day, as far as blog entries go. Jerry is still sick--I think with the flu, although he insists otherwise--so I just went around the city and tried to get everything confirmed, reconfirmed, and picked up for the students. The train station passes are still proving to be a problem (of course), but other than that, everything is set. It looks like we will have a great restaurant reservation and a great visit to the Museum of the City of Brussels!

Hopefully more tomorrow...

maybe next time I go to Brussels it should be with YOU - I really wasn't that excited about it and pretty much wanted to get back to Paris the whole time - shameful. sure I was stressed about the students, etc., but still it's shameful.
