it has been a while

morning in very rainy brussels. my logic of the weather getting warmer when flying south has failed me once again. at least it's a good enough reason to go do some shopping. for a winter coat for example! just saw a mouse on the wall. a drawn one. I like the walls here. I am sitting on a sofa under a bridge in what used to be an alleyway. quite amusing.

so, the tour around europe: started on sunday the 6th of july. took a flight to riga in the morning and on to brussels in the evening. it was the national song and dance festival opening in riga. the town was filled with people wearing their traditional costumes and wild flowers. I managed to avoid most of the festivities and enjoy the silence of sunday in the city. a "few" pics of houses, some good for drawing.
got to brussels around seven and managed to get lost in south station... still felt good to be here. but left the next day to spend hours playing a board game which didn't end up as bad as would have been expected as it was a war game of strategies. strategies being something I am not that strong in. as can be seen from my trip planning. or rather the un-planning of it. I hope to still make my way to the British isles sometime soon as well, but it is starting to seem rather dubious unfortunately. at least I will be off soon to the car museum and am really hoping I will actually get there.

has been a somewhat of an unexpected start to the journey, but I have been very well taken care of so I can't complain. time to go and get lost in brussels now! would be great to find that piece of me that seems to have been lost for a while. am starting to get rather annoyed with myself for the recent attitude. let's see if I'll manage to lose the attitude and find what needs to be found.
