yesterday we started at the science museum, it was tons of fun with lots of interactive activities to do! our favourite was the thermal imaging screen. it was a schoolday and there were so many cute kids there, all in uniform. we had lunch in holland park (our favourite park in london), saw many beautiful flowers and even some peacocks!!!!! we went for a nice walk and ended up close to our dinner destination (in notting hill) but we were early so we did a bit of window shopping and erica found a super cute change purse with an elephant on it!! dinner was at geales (which is supposedly the best fish and chips in london). drinks followed dinner at a nearby pub, where we met locals (simon and max/megs?). after some conversation they insisted on buying us a round, so we reciprocated, so it turned into a longer conversation, of which we only understood about 5% of. nice people though.
early morning today...caught the eurostar to brussels, and then had QUITE a time navigating where exactly we were and where we had to get to. we found our hostel (the hotel mirabau), then went out to explore. had authentic belgian waffles, toured the musee du cacao et du chocolat, then wandered over to park van brussel, and had a snooze in the shade. since then we have been struggling to plan the next leg of our trip; but we have learned that going day by day can be more expensive than we planned. yay for learning!

Hey, you didn't explain the reason for your title this time! Love Mom
Hey don't worry, the rest of Europe isn't nearly as pricey as England. You can buy a pint of beer in the grocery store here for 30 cents, so liquid bread for you two from now on :P. You both seem to be having fun, keep it up or else!!! I'm looking forward to running into you both...IN THE FACE (had to) later in your trip. Peas and carrots!
