Bonjour toute le monde
After these past few days i cqn only say that Belgium is amazing. I got picked up from the airport by my familly francais, Julie and three men from my host club, They all were happy to see me and i was happy to see them too, i was a little scared that no one would be there to greet me. they all greeted me with one kiss on the cheek. I was assured into their very nice car with my two huge suitcases. Then they drove me to Julies parents house to drop Julie off. THeir house has been in the familly for 3 generations, her grandfather built it and it is beautiful. I had a glass of champagne with the best i have ever had and also a glass of wine from france. There was a lot of talking going on and i understood little of it but i did learn that julies father is a hunter so mebe i will go with him somtime this year. I also learned that Karin and Julies mother and Julie are taking me to Frqnce in October for a girls only trip. So i drank and talked as best as i could with them. After that we went to their house and i was shown my room which is fully equipped with a tv, playstation, and a work out bike. THe bed is smaller then mine at home but very comfy. For super i had seafood with Pascal because he found out that i loved it. I ate lobstar, shrimp, and snails and it was all very good. Karin and Pascal are both very kind and loving people, its obvoius that they care about my happiness even more then i do. Margerie is very nice also and she knows a lot of english so she cqn help me if i need it. Pascal also is very good at English and spoke it to me the whole dqy yesterday until Margerie told him to stop because i wouldn;t learn that way. Pascal is very very cute and loving boy, i already love him. The house is a good size and the backyard is big, they have a little swimming pool too. After super i gave them their gifts and went to bed; i was soo tired; In the morning i had bread with chocolate for breakfast. Karin and Pascal had to go to work so i spent the day with Karin;s sister and Margerie. We went to the market and it was amazing seeing all the old buildings and i saw the ,ost amazing church. We met up with Karin at lunch and had salad with raw beef and of course more champane; It was very good. Then we went ho,e and i had a little nap which i just woke up from. I am still very tired which is why this letter is written very badly so sorry about that. I am also writing on their computer because mine is not getting connected for some reason. I am not used to their keybored cuz its very different from ours that is why there are no explenation marks. Anyways i must go for supper now so ill write again later when ive had more sleep.
I love you all and miss you
Love becca
