It's been a while since I've written because I have had some trouble with my Internet connection in Belgium. Right now I am mooching off of a neighbor's (thank you!) but there is quite a bit of distance and the signal is low, so I should finish quickly before the connection disappears. I'm really enjoying Belgium so far, my host family is great, and I have had the chance to meet quite a bit of extended family here too even though I have only been here for a few days. I learned that when Belgians greet each other, they touch cheeks and make a kiss in the air, so "bisou" to you and "bisou" to Belgium! It has been really cool to see all of the old stone buildings in my town and through the country, and I will be going to Brussels soon - I will update with another post (with pictures!). Also, the food here is REALLY good, at least the meals I have had so far. Hopefully I can learn to cook a little so that when I get to college I can make myself some good meals. On another note... it seems like people here seem to like skinny jeans a lot - it's a good thing I packed some! More updates coming soon...
P.S. My favorite song (not Belgian but still awesome) - "Mr. Blue Sky" by E.L.O.
