Almost time for Brussels!

I forgot to answer this question on the blog: we have been in Strasbourg since the 25th, we leave tomorrow 30th, and we will be in Brussels for 11 days (until the 9th). Then we leave Brussels and are in Paris about a day and a half, we leave for home early in the morning on the 11th and we arrive home that evening (time warp). Strasbourg has been really nice, we bought lots of French books here, a bunch of bookstores and book sellers. Clark has read (with my help) about 700 pages of manga Dragon ball translated from japanese into French, we're both learning a lot, slightly fatter, and have drunk a bit too much (found a really nice bar out of no where today with all kinds of beer) and visited the Kronenbourg (1664) brewery for a tour. We picked up a guide book about Brussels since we are going to be there for so long. It also has some Dutch common words in it, but it is kind of hopeless since I can't seem to sound it out. Brussels seems to be the capital of chocolate, beer, speculoos, and BD (comics) so I'm pretty excited. I wouldn't mind visiting a few museums while we are here too since we haven't done any sightseeing expense (except for the brewery) since Paris. We will be staying at a BnB when we are there (even though we booked from hostel bookers.com). Pretty excited for breakfasts, the croissants in Strasbourg are pretty lame to average.
