Wrapping up...

Today it's 3 days left for me in Brussels. I'm really very sad to be leaving, but I'm going to enjoy these last few days! I've had so much fun while I've been here. It's been such an experience, although I am ready to have some good old American Food. :)

It's been quiet since we've been back from Turkey. Not much going on, except I've been fighting some headache and throat issues. Not really a cold, but just annoyances. Too much fun in Turkey, I think, gave me some trouble.

The trip home from Istanbul was great. Lufthansa is now my favorite airline because they serve you food even on short inter-Europe flights! Better than SAS, Swiss, or Brussels Airlines. I'm hoping to get a big blog about our trip written up on my flight home. I leave around noon here, and get back to Seattle about 9pm. I'm gonna try to stay awake the whole time, so I'll need stuff to keep me entertained since the movie options on US Airways are never very good.

In the mean time, I've loaded up some pictures and have posted a new slide show below, so check those out. Be sure to click on the slide show or the link below it to go to the actual picture site so that you can see all my captions.

This weekend will be the big farewell to Brussels. I have to buy my chocolate tomorrow to bring home since the shop isn't open on Sunday. I've been worried about buying it sooner because our apartment is not air-conditioned and it's been really warm. I've heard it's supposed to be around 100 degrees in good ol' G-view, so that's going to be a shocker when I get back!

Lastly, I'll leave you with a video of the Whirling Dervishes that we saw in Istanbul. The boyfriend of the girl we were staying with sets up these shows so we got in free! It was about an hour long show, but what you see here, pretty much sums up the whole hour.
