Thanks for the memories
I was also a technocrat living in Brussels for 11 years, but serving as the U.S. Representative to the NATO Infrastructure Committee. All three of my children were born there. I witnessed first hand the end of the Cold War. I also visited every nook and cranny of Brussels, although I must admit I missed the Zinnekin Pis. As for Belgium's Africa links, you must visit the African Museum in Tervuren if you haven't done so already. It even has Stanley's footlocker...he's the one who said "Dr. Livingstone, I presume." Once again, thanks for the memories! Oh, if you could have some moules and a beer at Vincent's off the Grand Place, and tell about Belgian food and beer in a future blog that would be the best!

Thank you for adjusting what I see in Detroit.
We grew up a short distance from Detroit, my husband in Toledo, only an hour away and myself in Dayton, Ohio, three hours south. Through your eyes we can see clearly now the vision of what is to come. Next time we are in Detroit our experience will be very different and we thank you for that. I'm going to add your name to the November blog treasure hunt. This was written well, from the heart and your enthusiasm shows through your words. Excellent. We are currently living in San Francisco, if you get back this way please let us know as we would like to hook up with you. I'm sorry for all the people who didn't take the time to read this while it was on the front page. They have missed a real gem.

Missing the breakfast
Hi Anna, I am an Edmontonian spending a year in Quebec and on Canada Day we were really missing the muslim pancake breakfast as my family goes every year, so I was glad to read about your great experience. I hope the rest of your month in Edmonton goes as well. We are excited as we too return home to Edmonton later this month. I do hope you will get out to the mountains to see Jasper during your stay. Cheers, Tracy

Welcome to Alberta
Those trucks come in handy in the winter time! Be sure to visit Calgary though, it's a much nicer city. ;-)

Hi! Looks like I was in Kaliningrad the day before you were (May 8th). Were there any Victory Day celebrations while you were there? Also see you've been to Kazbegi in Georgia... What a Gorgeous place!

trip to albania
i liked your honesty in this blog. It is not easy to travel alone, especially in Albania. I was born and raised there and i still find it difficult to travel alone there. In many cases people are not used to dealing with tourists and that's where their ignorance comes out. But trust me you were lucky nothing happened to you. It is a very nice place to visit if you know where you are going and with whom. People in Albania are not used to see outside of their box. People with backpacks are not normal because it is not compatible with their trendy style in the muddy streets. In the capital, Tirana things are quite different, but it is still far from having a great experience comparing it to a weird one.

Definitely take the tram to Tervuren...
the tracks skirt the Bois, a forest that extends south to Waterloo, and was planted in the 1700's with beech trees that grow straight and tall so that they could be harvested as masts for sailing ships. Then it ends at Turvuren Park which is beautiful to walk around the lakes anytime of the year...except perhaps winter. My daughter learned to ride a bike on the road around the lakes, but took a sharp left turn into the lake. Fortunately the water isn't very deep.
