We arrived in a small airport outside of Brussels, yet the security was still really intense. I was definitely starting to get annoyed with all the security after taking six planes in the past week and a half. But I appreciate the safety. We had some trouble finding our carpooling driver, but eventually we made it through all the hurdles and got to the car. They were super nice and we're excited to speak English which was good so we could all understand. They wer...

Woke up today and got ready with first-day-of-school nerves and met Gina to go to the bakery and then to class... Went to school and found out the class was cancelled... Again! Our next class was also cancelled for the week, so we had one class left for the day at 5pm... We hoped that one was in session.
