1 Month & 1 Week

We arrived in Brussels 1 month ago today and in our new apartment 1 week ago today. Happily I can say we go places now without maps, or backpacks, or Hawaiian shirts, so we sufficiently blend in. Our apartment is in the center of a bunch of fun places, but away from those places so it is very quiet but mere blocks from fun.
Today in 1958 cartoonist Peyo introduced the world to Les Schtroumpfs. Recently Unicef released a commercial using the Smurfs that has bothered a few people.
The continuing good weather has allowed us to varnish all our Ikea furniture on the terrace. But approaching wet weather has forced us to bring it all in, leaving a nice burning smell in our apartment. Other home improvement projects occurring around here are the conversion of a large set of shelves left here for us into a closet. Only possible with the power drilled we borrowed from friends.


Wildlife in our jungle.







Thanks to Ikea..... almost a full set of bike tools....
