She was traveling home with her two young children and needed the help. (and Alaska was the only state I hadn't been to!) I mostly spent time with Marissa and her family and visited with my cousins who live in Anchorage. They took me to some great places and I can't wait to go back and see more. I am going to mostly tell this story in pictures. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

We finished the evening with Chimay snd a waffle. I went to bed around 1130pm and Pierre and I got up and left for the airport at 3:30am. (I am tired, but Pierre I hope you survived work ok!) both my morning flights were delayed due to strikes but fortunetly I had enough time between legs it was ok. Now I wait for my flight to LA, hopefully boarding in an hour. Then I will try to sleep on the plane and arrive at 4ish west coast time.

Thr rest of the day we just wandered through the city with a goal of seeing the Spanish square. On our we saw a few parks, and a market where I bought a dress and Anne bought a skirt. The square was beautiful, it was built for a world fair or something. (my brain can't handle all this knowledge all at once) We also toured the museum of fine arts and costumes before walking back along the river to ou hotel. That evening we donned our new outfits and went to a flamenco show. The show was great (besides some technical gaffes I could have prevented if I ha been working) and we enjoyed tapas and a bottle of wine.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px;"><br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial;" /></span><br />

Fortunetly I know not to order the "mano de cerdo" after our late lunch I drove the 240 kilometers through beautiful contryside, back to the airport. We said goodbye to the fiesta and got a taxi to our hotel. It is super nice and right downtown! We are only a block from the huge cathedral and can see it from our window. We walked down to the river and watched the sunset from the bridge. On the other side if the river we found a restuarant overlooking the river and had a nice dinner and a few cervesas.</span><br />

Do when I got on the train in waremme I saw 2 guys with a video camera in the next car to my right but I went and sat in the car to my left. After 5 minutes of sitting with old people I decided to see what the guys were up to. They were now sitting down in the car so i sat next to them and asked "ques cer to fait avec le camera?" they replied that they were making a film for school. That was all there was to say so I moved to adjust my bag in my seat. I heard them confer a bit together then they asked if I wanted to be in it. I protested saying I prefered to be behind the camera but then the proceeded to explain and show me what they were working on. All I had to do was cone it if the bathroom and walk by one of the guys so I agreed :-) we did two takes then watched them. I gave them my email so I can see it when it is done.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px;"><br />

</span></div>Tuesday day 14<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial;" />We arrived in Brussels at 10:30 and I walked to the hostel right away to check in and leave my backpack in a locker. I spent the day wandering around seeing many of the main attractions; I saw manequin piss, a cool arch, the meuseum quater, the offices of the <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1289450608_5" style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial;">European Union</span>, the old zoo, the grand place, and a few more churches. I also ate fries and a Belgian waffle. At 6 I went back to the hostel to take a shower, do laundry, and get settled in my room. In the evening I met up with Dan who I met in<span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1289450608_6" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(54, 99, 136); border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 2px; cursor: pointer; line-height: 1.2em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial;">Bruges</span> last week and we had a few beers with his friend and walked around the grand place. Brussels is pretty all lit up at night.<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial;" /><br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial;" />Wednesday day 15-<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial;" />I woke up at 7 and slipped out if my room, I ate a quick breakfast and repacked my bag then headed out. I was staying near the north station but I needed to meet my cousin at the south station. I felt lake walking and seeing more of the city so I walked there instead of going from the closer station, then I rode the train with my cousin, Jaquies to Soignies. We visited her mother and my other great aunt, both in elderly homes there. Around 3 her brother, Roland, came and picked us up to take us to my great uncles house. ( he lives in a house passed down 4 generations on my grandmothers side) my cousin Roland recounted many tales of old family members, the house and my mother and her siblings (he has a lot of dirt on them. In the evening I caught a train to visit my god-mother in Charlerois. She made dinner for me and we caught up a bit, she hardly speaks English but her boyfriend understands some.<br />

We drove to Brecklav, right across the border and got a 3 hour train that took us only a few blocks from the downtown area. We got there about noon which didn't give is much time, but we made the most of every second. We saw mist of the famous buildings as well as the old square and the new town square. We also took a tour that explained all the history from the first settlers om th area up through the splitting of Cezch and <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1289450608_0" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(54, 99, 136); border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 2px; cursor: pointer; line-height: 1.2em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial;">Slovakia</span>. We also saw the Charles brigdge and from there power walked up the hill to the huge castle. We got back to the <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1289450608_1" style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial;">train station</span> at 5pm and were back on Breclav around 9pm. We had a little trouble finding our way out of town, the dark and not knowing the language didn't help.

<div style="text-align: center;">Day 8 Wednesday</div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px;">I slept in today till almost 10, I was so tired from staying up</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px;"><span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1289373646_3" style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial;">late last night</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px;">planning my trips.

I spent a few hours wandering the streets and found the hostel I will stay in next week. It weird but I think I feel safer in Brussels than I would in a big USA city. It's an illusion I am sure, but it gives me courage. (plus who could feel threatened in a city with such great waffles)</span><br />

After the first stop I worked up the courage to talk to the guy next to me. I asked in terrible French: "what place will you depart the bus?" When I only got a strange look I clarified with true Indian sign language: "I depart the bus in Vienna." "Ahh, moi ousi" he replied. After a few more pathetic attempts on my part I discovered he spoke pretty good English. Hooray for the French being so multi lingual.</span><br />

I was worried about everyone speaking German but I found enough people who spoke English to help me. My friends met me in poysdorf an we spent the afternoon catching up. I had shweinschnitzel for dinner and drank almdoodler, their locally made soda. All in all a great day in Austria!</span><br />

I speak slow and expect to have to exlain myself. My cousin Anne teaches me new words but I forget them alot. My flights were very long getting here and I travelled for almost 24 hours. Next time I will plan better and take a train from Paris to Brussels and it will only take an hour.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Thursday-day 2: (I guess I will count yesterday as my first day in Belgium even though I spent it all in an airport) I slept for 4 hours because I was so tired. Anne made a great dinner where everyone drank Belgian table beer, even the children. Then I sat with Anne & Pierre to try two Belgian beers. Pierre exlained how beer is made and the differences between the colors and the recipes.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Friday -day3: I visited my grandfathers family: my great aunt and her husband, (annes parents) and my great uncle. Here I was again reminded how little French I know. For dinner we went to a "Baraque a Frites" (literally a fry shack.) After, we drove a little wats to the ruins of a 13th century Abby, in the old cellar there is a restaurant and bar. I tried two mire Belgian beers and love them both. Beer, chocolate and fries, It doesn't get much better than this. I couldn't have asked for better hosts, so gracious and patient and kind.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Saturday -day 4: I drove with Pierre to pick up vegetables at a nearby farm where Everything is grown organic and they employ local workers. I don't know how much of Belgium is concious like my hosts but I love it. I have Bern asking lots of questions about history, politics, work and social things. It really opens my eyes to hear the different point of view. Belgium has a king who doesn't do anything because they also have parliment! We spent most of the day at Waterloo and saw almost everything. History is so much more interesting when you can see it in person. It was sunny but preceeded to pour rain in bursts throughout the day. Just like Oregon, the weather mostly cold but always changing. After dinner I met and re-met more cousins on my grandfathers side. Annes sisters and brother and some of their children. I am making a family tree as I go so I can keep track.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Sunday-day 5: we woke up to pouring rain and wind, it was just awful outside. But we decided to brave the weather and after Anne & Pierre packed lunch and rain coats and we braved the weather to head to Bruges. When we got there (120km) the sky was clear and the sun came out. We walked all over the town an visited main bell tower, meusems & the old church of the holy blood. I also met some Americans from Philly who are in belgium for a year of college. I think i talked their ear off because i miss speaking real english. Bruges is a beautiful city with recorded history that goes back many centurys. After Bruges we drive to the coast and I touched the Atlantic ocean from this side! We had waffles and coffee in a little shop overlooking the ocean then headed home.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Funny thing, most of the music on the radio here is American, I heard Gorillaz & Linkin Park on the way home!</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Monday day 6 the children had holiday from school today so after lunch we drove to Binche to see a bit if the old town. All though not as well know or exploited Binche has some wonderful history. We walked along an old "rampart" that circled the whole city in the 15th century. There was also remains of a palace they have unearthed and a cemetary. I met pierres brother and family and although I bear no blood relation, left with gifts a plenty. After dinner Pierre and I went to the store to pick out more Belgian beers for me to try, "Belgium is beer paradise!" we left with 14 bottles & I tasted 4 tonight while playing a pirate board game with the whole family. The children ignore us when we speak English but I realized they understand more than they let on. Soon every good play was followed with "In your face!" I am so incredibly thankful for the wonderf family I have here. I can never repay them. This evening Pierre also helped me plan the rest of my trip and it is going to be full and amazing! It is more than I could have ever hoped for!</span><br />

I fly out today at 3pm, but I am heading to the airport soon. <br />
<br />
The last few days have been a whirlwind of visiting family and friends. And really, I've been just been making my family bigger by adopting good friends. On Thursday Jared and I got up early (though not as early as planned) and I followed him to Pocatello Idaho, where he split off for Reno and I continued on through Salt Lake City to Las Vegas. I spent the night and most of the next day with my Grandma Margie in vegas before driving to my moms parents in Vista, CA Friday night. I spent some time with them and we called a few family members in Belgium. The response surprised me although maybe it shouldn't have. Everyone wants me to visit them! My great uncle said he "would roll out the red carpet" for me. (he said it in french but I don't know how to spell that) I also found out that friends from high school are in Austria for a year and I want to visit them too. So know I have 28 days to visit tons of family all over Belgium, Go to Austria and Luxembourg to see friends, and hopefully make it to Oktoberfest as well!!<br />

I know this is out of order but I wanted to get the Glacier stuff upp incase I ran out of time.<br />
I left Grants Pass on Saturday about 11am, made a stop in Portland to see Rachel and Jaxton and pck up my phone charger, then started in on the drive I didn't know as well. The drive along the river was beautiful and the sun set just as I headed into Washington. I didn't get in to Jared's house in Butte Montana until 3am and we didn't go to bed till 4:30 ish but it was worth it to finally be out here!<br />

We grabbed a campsite and got on the trail about 4pm. We hiked 5 something miles to Ptarmigan lake and then literally ran most of the way down because it was getting dark.<br />

I am mostly packed and I keep checking my lists to make sure I have everything. And I am spending my last night in town with my two favorite non-blood-related people, doing one of my favorite things. Kenny, Brittain and I are going to see Noises Off at Barnstormers!!!!<br />
<br />
Then Saturday morning I am hoping to be on the road no later than 9am for the 15 hour drive to Montana to see Jared.<br />
Guess I better get some sleep tonight. I can't wait till I actually have something exciting to update you all with!Follow Emma!http://www.blogger.com/profile/15391544379607796876noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766674463255143510.post-64739078810373357142010-09-06T15:51:00.000-07:002010-09-06T15:57:49.615-07:00I leave in 4 days!!so last night I bought a sim card so I can use my iphone in Belgium. I am going to mostly try to use Skype (so if you have it, contact me) but this way I have a backup.<br />
I also climbed Mt. Mcloughlin with Kenny yesterday. It was awesome but wow I am tired. 5.5 miles up, and the last mile was scrambling over rocks and up a steep gravel slope. The 360 degree view from the top was incredible, you could see Medford, Mt. Shasta, table rock, Mt. Ashland, and the rim of Crater Lake. Plus being surrounded by green trees and blue lakes all close by. The way back down was cold and tough on the knees but we made good time and overall we hiked 11 miles in less than 7 hours.<br />
Today I woke up stressing about what goes in the backpack, so as soon I get home tomorrow I am going to start throwing stuff in the bag.<br />
now I am off to look up European geography. . . . <br />
