Amy and I are just about to set out from Gent for Tervuian (near Brussels).
Yesterday we left Brugse and about 43 km, my first fall with my foot still in the clip, a real hill! a few cute towns, and lots of farms later arrived in Gent. Another nice hostel.
Gent is cool, but Amy and suspect we shouldn't have done two similar towns in consequtive days. Gent is like a bigger, older and more complex Brugse (hope the Belgians don't take offense at this offhand summation of their cities). Spent an hour in the post office and will not be mailing any more packages. It cost 20 eruos for one small package.
Also went to the Museum of Belgian Folklife and Culture. A Curiousity Type Museum with some strange ideas about farming and babies. Is there any other incident of a culture explaining babies as growing on farms, i.e. hatching from eggs and growing in plants?
Well, time for breakfast. We'll probably be out of internet access range for the next few days. But we'll be thinking of you.

If it is Wednesday, can it still be Belgium?
Hmmm, wonder if there is a stein on the way, hmmm, steinway?
And, I think we should all send your most recent post to all of the Belgians we know! Wait till Isaiah and Emma hear what you have had to say!
And while we are on the subject, just how much does a stein way? yuck, yuck, yuck
