Brussels tomorrow!!

Tomorrow Anna and I depart for our first REAL adventure.  While everyday here does seem to turn into some sort of crazy happening, tomorrow is the first time we are braving leaving the country.  Seems like this should have already happened sometime in our two months in Europe…  We have great plans to indulge in all of Brussels finest.  This includes great things such as: waffles, chocolate, beer, and french fries.  There were also be a visit a cartoon museum.  I know, this seems weird.  But this is where the smurfs came from, so clearly we have to go learn about them!  I’m pretty excited for it all.

I’d like to take a moment to report on the craziest happening of the week.  We were taking the train to Paris to go to a museum this Wednesday, and everything was going fairly according to plan at first.  There were these bizarre guys, who were apparently Romanian, who kept changing seats around us.  We didn’t think that much of it, just bizarre teenage boy behavior.  But on the first or second stop after leaving Versailles, they waited til the doors were about to close and stole Myra’s bag!  It was intensely dramatic because they were going for speed and not sneakiness.  I thought all was lost, but Dr. Patton, Houston, and Myra pushed the emergency stop button on the train and went after them.  They ended up dropping the bag because Houston had almost caught up to them.  It was pretty intense, I must say.  They say things like this happen often, but I never thought I’d witness it quite like that.

Alright, it is bedtime, big weekend ahead!  Next weeks gonna be big too.  Wednesday is the France/Greece soccer game.  Thursday is (hopefully) We Are Scientists in Paris.  And Friday is my birthday and I get to see Leanna, Harrison, Kara, Matti, and Maizie!! I’m super pumped of course.  Bonne nuit!
