enjoyable stories
hey girl, I like reading your adventures. The difficult thing I found about travelling alone is just what you said -- there's no one there to bounce jokes and things off of. Do you have earplugs? They help with the noise at night. When you get back home you could still do a little travel blog on Belgium - go to some interesting village or place each week or month and write about it.

Maybe in my next life I'll come back living in Ghent. I've gotten used to your writings. It would be a shame for them to end. a big hug to you on the wind.... Donna Elaine
