when feeling low eat a big plate of salad

Curious how a wicked long and hot shower and a big plate of lettuce and Belgian Endive can perk you up. Or how a full day in the blazing sun looking at architectural masterpiece's with no one to express the amazement and wonderment you feel can bring you down. Did I mention that Brussels is also a fairly dirty, sooty city and they have unbelievable architectural gems laying in ruins. I saw a few buildings that looked like squats-all boarded up. It would be like walking down Hastings in Vancouver except the buildings would be from the 17-18th centuries. It's a bit depressing, as you can imagine.

I have decided to go to Brugge for the nights of April 12-13-14. I am considering it my holiday from my holiday. It's slightly cheaper than Brussels and maybe I'll splurge on a boat trip down the canals or just slowly wander the medieval streets. Apparently there is a pretty good flea market on Saturday too.

Thanks to the "farm" for the well wishes. I almost forgot that it was Easter. I wish I could have been there. When I saw the message from the "farm" I only concluded that there had been a wiener roast in the tree line since technically there isn't a farm anymore!!
