Today we all took our first dose of anti-Malria pills, and it was the first time the girls ever swallowed a pill. There was some drama, but in the end they swallowed them. We can only hope this process gets easier. We met up with the Lim family at the airport and continued on to Brussels, Belgium without any event. All the children were VERY happy so see one another to say the least. It's now a complete giggle fest when they're all together.
Brussels is home to the best chocolate and waffles in the world and we've tried them both. I'm not sure about the chocolate part but I did eat the best waffle I've ever had in my life!
We visited the historic square of Brussels this afternoon and toured the Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula, built in the beginning of the 13th century! It has some of the most beautiful stained glass ever seen and we went under the church to see the original church it was built over which dates back to the eleventh century!
Another important site to visit here is the Peeing Boy statue/fountain. I thought it would be larger since the post cards really make it seam so big... but alas he wasn't and we almost walked right by.
Tomorrow we travel to Kigali, Rwanda for our final stop on this tour and the beginning of our true purpose for the trip. We'll all anxious to begin using the language phrases we've been learning and passing along our love for the Lord as well.
Here we go everyone... time for the main event!
Love,
Kelly
