Brussels

We have arrived safely and eaten moules frites, a waffle, and some truffles. The european keyboard takes some qdjustment. We went to the EU parliment where daily dozens of visitors have to be hospitalized due to boredom. I napped. We walked a lot. This is a beautiful city full of friendly, polite people. We just passed 2 American ladies who had gathered a small crowd trying to help with their map. At dinner last night we ate in the seafood alley outside under heat lamps. It drizzled a bit. We were greatly entertained by the maitre de standing in front trying to attract passersby with his guess (usually correct) of their language. The whole street was like a red light district for shellfish.
We miss you and hope you are well.

I am glad to hear from you. Sounds good. Are there that many tourists?

Well, the talent show was seen and enjoyed. Sunday,there was a lot of sleeping (Hannah). reading (Jo) and I think Sus was a bit bored. That is grand parents for you.

This morn all got up and dressed and off to school with some sort of nourishment. It was hard and dark, day light saving time started.

Buster is sleeping in our room on his white bed. He is fine. I think with the girls here, he feels like it may not be forever and ever.

OMG, I forgot to send you my recommendations for Brussels! Sorry. I don't have any though. Except that Bruges is a worthwhile day trip.
