Paris

It's Friday morning and Alex and I are all packed and ready to head to France. Our train will go through Lille France and then head south to Paris. The trains have been the biggest challenge. We were not aware of the fact that you have to pretty much have reservations for every where you go. And your reservations should ble eight days before you leave. Anyway we have really learned quite a bit.  We are happy to head to Paris and this is our first Train. Wish us luck.

Museum

We had a great time walking around Brussels and finding this amazing museum by the apartment. 

Brussels

I absolutely love being with the family and Brussels. We have taken in so much museums history chateaus. All amazing and still been able to relax. Soodi, Todd, and Chris have been great hosts. We have had great food at home and at the cafés. The city is so active. We are going to an Iranian restaurant tonight. We are heading back to the Central Plaza tomorrow so Alex can see the hustle and bustle of the city. Everyday just gets better. I'm going to cross my fingers that I continue feeling good we have a couple of weeks to go. www.ohtheplaceswellsee.blogspot.com

Brussels

We made it to Todd and Soodi house on Saturday. I have to say it was a bit grueling from the beginning. Alex wasn't feeling good at all and we had to be up at 4:00 am. Not a good start. The airport was packed and we just made our 6:20 flight. Do not over pack when coming to Europe it is insane. From there the flight was packed. We found out when we got to Brussels that Todd got called in and there was no pick up. We made our way to the outside both tired and on edge. There was a line of Taxi cars but no one would speak English to us. They where giving us a prices of 184 euros to get to where we needed to go.  A French man told us to jump in their taxi to the train station for 15 euro apiece. We did and from there we took the tram up to Montgomery circle. The difficult part was lack of communication and way to much luggage. We did make it and are enjoying are stay in Brussels. There is so much to see and learn here. Alex is feeling better and I'm pretty sure we are driving out to a famous chateau today. If I didn't tell you before loved Ireland.
