I went to one of the local village traditions on sat. They have a big fire to chase away winter. Then there was fireworks afterwards. There was crapes, sausages (like hot dogs but with sausage), hot wine with fruit in it and lots of beer. It mostly seemed like a excuse for everyone to get together and drink. Everyone except the kids had a beer or wine in their hands at all times. The music is so entertaining. It is old american songs. Things like YMCA and the Titanic song, Michael Jackson ect. I saw lots of family's and many single old men. The people are funny. A song would come on and a few would start dancing a little while they were talking.
I was very entertaining for a few of the men. Michele did not tell them I was married so a few kept trying to buy me drinks. No one spoke much English so I just watched and laughed quietly at everyone.

Sounds like fun!
Elicia,
Your pictures are wonderful (I especially loved the ducks and geese). I hope your experience in Belgium is fun and exciting. I loved Belgium and wish I could go back for another visit. I forget the town that the ship ported at but Mom and I took a tour to Bruges (I know I spelled it wrong but I can't find a dictionary at the moment). It was a fairy tale town and I had chocolate from "Van Oost" which was rated number 1 in the world at the time. The carmel filled milk chocolate and the Jasmine scented dark chocolate are the best I've eaten in my life.
I've got family news for you (you might all ready know), Rocky Jon and K.K. are expecting a baby. She's about 12 weeks along. John and Phyllis are very happy and so is everybody else.
I need to close but I want you to know that Mom and I keep you and Bobby in our prayers. Be safe and have fun.
Love,
Aunt Liz
