I am a girl, but I don't have a pearl earring but I am packing an useless rain coat..

Today I am going to rent a bike and ride along the canals to nearby Damme which is where part of the movie, "Girl with a Pearl Earring" was filmed. Should be very relaxing and a change of pounding the cobblestones.

I have a small issue between my 1st and 2nd toes. It started as a blister and then popped. Then it turned into something between a callus and a corn. Now it is a blister underneath the thick callused skin and it's quite annoying and sore. It really needs a break from the 18km walks, so a bike ride is in order. Incidentally, I do believe I am finally loosing weight from all this walking.

Incidentally, it has not rained one day while I have been in Europe. I don't believe it has rained anywhere in Europe. When I was in Paris the weather was in the 20's and I read a headline that Brusssels is supposed to break a heat record with a predicted 32 degrees for this weekend. Alternatively, my mother in Red Deer, Alberta says that it has snowed and that spring just keeps getting delayed. I do believe that Europe will become completly uninhabitable during certain parts of the year and the only people who will be in these cities will be fountain caretakers or backpackers wearing very little.

There is a place for your raincoat here in Vancouver - it's RAINING here. Take care of that toe that it does not get infected. Catherine xo
