Well, I'm almost done here. Actually, I am done with work - headed back into Brussels for a couple of nights before my journey home on Sunday.
You know, even for someone who loves to travel as much as I do, it can sometimes be tedious. Seeing new and exoctic places is wonderful of course, but ocassionally it's the little things that I like most of all. Like, walking into a big hotel in the downtown of a foreign city, followed by my driver carrying my luggage, and being greeted by name by the staff and welcomed back!!!!! Makes me feel so glamourous and sophisticated!!!! (Even if one of them did call me MRS. Cato - I looked around again for my mom, but she wasn't there).
Those of you who have been reading my travelogues for years know that one of my favorite things is seeing the CITY LIGHTS out my hotel window. Nothing yet has beat the view I had in Vancouver, but my view here comes pretty close. It's stunning - not just the lights, but I have a perfect view of the beautiful stock exchange building,
bathed in light with the lighted basilica in the background. THe exchange is another one of those glorious 16th century buildings I have seen so much of here.
Went out for a little walk after dinner - 9 at night and the streets are ALIVE - it was great just walking around watching people and listening to them laugh and chatter about their day.
Anyway, now if's off to bed and then tomorrow back to the museum and a jazz concert tomorrow night and then home Sunday morning. See some of you next week.
