The Calm Before the Awesome Part III

I'm at work and have 15 minutes to kill before I can leave, so I thought I'd do a quick intro post for Big Europe Trip #3. I have to fly to JFK first before crossing the pond, so I might post later too. Of course, being JFK, I might be putting my emotional energies into not being angry. We'll see.

But this trip I will be going to Brussels for the first half and will be visiting a friend of mine (and her couch). She lives outside of Brussels in Leuven, which is in the Dutch region. I've been doing some last minute Dutch cramming so I'm not too rude. It sounds a bit funny.Mostly, though, I'll be in Brussels and the Walloon region, which are largely francophone, which I am very excited (and nervous) about..

Then I might spend a day in Luxembourg, because I dont think I've ever met someone from the States who visited Luxembourg. Plus it's francophone as well. This is up in the air. It depends on Belgium, I think.

Then to Paris, my sweet foreign mistress. I'm going to spend an entire day doing nothing but sitting at cafes and lazing around parks. And eating cheese. And pastries. And donner kebabs.

All I have to do is get through an 8 hour flight. Not too bad.
