Coffee and Chocolate

We are no longer in Africa.

With a 4-hour layover in Brussels and 11 euros in our pocket we have found a quiet spot by a wall of windows to enjoy the sunrise, drink a cup of delicious coffee as can only be had in Europe, and nibble on some Belgian truffles.

Wow. What a total change of environment and culture from just 12 hours ago.

We will arrive back in Dallas tonight after some 30 hours of travel. (It will be more like 48 hours since we've gotten any decent sleep or a bath - which will make for a sweet homecoming!)

Our plane has been preparing for our boarding since early this morning, so we have high hopes that it will at least be clean for us.

Tot ziens!
