Sometimes I wish that instead of history and geography classes, I could have toured the world to learn about it by seeing it.
On Thursday night I had dinner in the Flemish side of Belgium. Friday night I was in the Walloon side. On the highway from Brussels to Liege, Astrid pointed out that Liege is indicated first as Luik, the Dutch name for the city, then Liege, the French name, and then by Luik again. It is all a bit confusing to me how all these parts exist and to add another element to the complication, today we drove to Luxembourg.
In Luxembourg I met the gun seller. Dr House, Hugh Laurie when he is not on TV, wrote a book called "The Gun Seller". I was curious to get to know him better and after a bit of reading, I can already find the brains of Dr House in the book. Now I have a book for my tour and for the pre Christmas period.
And I run to get ready...tonight we are having dinner in Metz, France.
