Today is Election and Fathers Day in Belgium.
In the morning we visited the Atomium. It was fairly neat. A look at their website should tell you all you need to know.

After that a group of us took the train out to Brugge. I was not certain I wanted to go, but it was fun. It takes about an hour on the train to get to Brugge. We had a great view of the Belgian countryside on the trip out and back. Being from Montana, I can spot a tourist town a mile a way. Brugge is truly the best tourist town I have ever been in. The town is small, ancient, great little shops, canals, windmills, plazas, and magnificent buildings. Five of the guys rented bikes at the train station and rode them around town. There are blocks and blocks of small winding, interconnected cobble stone streets. Riding a bike through this town was a great European experience.
Tomorrow we visit NATO and I have an individual appointment with a guy that runs the city association in Brussels.
Jet Lag seems to be gone. Just my normal bad sleeping patterns at this point.

Hi Chris,
Nice to log on this afternoon and see all the blogs you have sent. I decided I need to move my globe in here, so I can follow your travels. Hope you can find some foods to your liking, maybe the Cheeses and Pastries?? Bad thought, huh??
Oh by the way, the M's SWEPT the Padres this weekend! Just wanted to keep you up on 'the team'.
Enjoy your journey and take lots of pictures.

shoots,
read your blogs over the phone to mom today as she still does not have her computer. we both enjoyed them thoroughly! you can hear the excitement in her voice when we visit about what you are doing. sounds great so far... after reading through the first few blogs in one sitting, i look foward to tracking you each day. mom and i only had one question... you mentioned sausage and diet pepsi at the baseball game and we had a really hard time believing that you did not have a bag of peanuts as well??? look foward to hearing more as you travel. your writing is fantastic. not a big deal of you dont feel like posting this.
