Hi you two!! What an incredible moving experience!! Loved the pictures and your detailed commentary about the move and the trials and tribs of laundry day at your home!! Whew indeed!! HOWEVER--what a beautiful apartment-great open space, attractive walls, built-ins and lovely flooring!! So impressive!! Let us see it all when you are done unpacking and decorating!! Too bad we can't all hold a house-warming party!! I remember when I was studying and living in Germany, I often traveled to Brussels and especially Brugge---just loved it all---most especially the great mussels and pommes frites--not to mention the Belgian chocolate--yum!!!!! You are rignt, dieting would be hard to do there!! Very anxious to see you on the August cruise--will be great to talk face to face!! Thanks for all your updates. We are suffering an abnormal heat wave--humid and in the mid/upper 90s--you know I am not a happy camper--argh! Tomorrow we drive with friends to Raleigh to see the Broadway production of Jersey Boys--it should be fun. Great music! Well, it is time to pour a libation and begin dinner preparations--tonight we enjoy salmon and I will stuff it with crabmeat. With an arugula salad and our own home grown grape tomatoes--and a glass of white wine--should be tasty!! Do keep in touch and enjoy your time there--you really are lucky to be so close to so many great travel expeditions--I am getting jealous--sigh.... Stay well, get rest and most of all, have fun!!
