Today I am in Brussels, and earlier I was in London. Brussels is an unplanned stop on my European vacation, but so far one that I am enjoying. I had dinner tonight at Restaurant Vincent, a place where my mom and Gary ate together over 20 years ago! The food was wonderful and the maitre'd flirted shamelessly, so it was an all-around uplifting experience. Tomorrow I shall walk around Grand Place and gorge myself on Belgian chocolates, and then on Monday it's back to London.
All of this loveliness aside, I am a bit homesick. I feel this way a lot when I am traveling outside the US - I'm not sure if it's that I'm so used to the comforts of home or that I feel a bit lonely traveling on my own. I swear, every time I hear an American accent I get these little pangs of "oh, I wish I was there now." I'll be glad to be back home in a few days.
Oh, I almost forgot - today I ran along the Thames!
