en Belgique

So you know: Brock and I are at a hostel in Brussels and I have 6 1/2 minutes to write this entry before I run out of internet time.

So. This hostel is awesome. We are drinking Belgian beers (obviously) from the hostel bar that would cost almost 4 times as must from a liquor store in America.

So far we've been to Germany, where we played a lot of MarioKart with our friend Pavlick and met a lot of his German friends and went ice skating with them and went hiking in the beautiful college town of Jena where he lives.

And Luxembourg, where we explored the castle at the top of the hill in Vianden, and failed to rent bikes in Diekirch and Brock hated Diekirch but I liked it okay because I was drawn by a series of interesting objects (cool bridge, kayak competition, donkeys, Dutch sign about Water tables, weird exhibit called Zeitreise (time travel) hill, field, horses, etc) into the nearby hills and ended up taking an extremely pleasant 3 hour hike.

And Belgium as you already know, where we have wandered around the city on foot, mostly lost, until we stumble into a super impressive cathedral or cozy bar with pig bladders (?) hanging from the ceiling or we wind up back at our hostel...

Time is up!

Bye!
