Friday, Sept 12 - I was sooo tired. I had gotten up at 2:30am on the 11th to take Majorie to the airport (thanks Kim for driving) come back and slept for a couple of hours. then up all day and night helping with this proposal. (which is why i am coming to Brussels)
It is the first flight I have ever slept on. Honestly, I think I would have slept on the wing if that was where I was sitting...
So when I get off the plane and look for a taxi, the line was so long I decided to take the bus or metro or train, to deliver this package to the European Commission. (it sounds official but its not really, think courier not special mission. though for as nervous and stressed as I was about this you'd think I was delivering top secret information) while I was asking the lady at the tourism booth which bus to take, a girl came up behind me and asked if she could follow because she was also going to deliver a proposal. So begins the journey to the EC of me and Frances Tennyson. It was fun but very wet. It rained and we had to walk a ways to get there. for a minute we thought we were there, there was a display of flags in front of a building with some pretty tight security, but that was the NATO headquarters.
then its walk around in the rain looking for the right building. but we finally found it, and finally delivered our packages.
WHEW!!! That was a weight relieved. figuratively and literally (it must have weighed about 5 pounds!)
After that we caught the bus into town and treated ourselves to a nice lunch and a Grimbergen Blonde (beer, and since there are many types in Belgium, over 700, I will keep track and list them)
