First, Liz, who is living in Prague with Mitch's cousin right now came to visit us. In two short days we showed her Brussels, Ypres, and Brugge. We also froze our bottoms off in the cold rain and wind. Thanks for coming Liz, we love you and miss you already! For the rest of you who did not come and visit us. . . oh well, your loss I guess.
Since Thursday was Armistice Day (end of WWI) we went to Ypres to see a parade and ceremony at a famous battle site that is now a huge memorial. There were thousands of these little poppies covering the place to honor the fallen soldiers. It was very touching.
This was part of the parade of solidiers. . .
One of the things that is making me more than anxious to go back home is that it is now almost always raining and cold, and I suffer from lack of good rain shoes. I know it will be freezing back at home, but at least I will have the proper attire. I'm too cheap to buy it here for 2 weeks.
So for now, I'm mostly excited to go home. But then I look at cute pictures like this one and know that as soon as I do get home I'll miss the excitment of discovering a new place in Europe every weekend and having Mitch all to myself all the time. But the longer I am here the more I miss family and friends. . . it is tough not to have both worlds huh?
