when gary came

This past week Gary, my friend from Bend, Oregon (currently on exchange to Stockholm, Sweden) came down to see me and see some more of Europe. He went to Paris for a few days and stayed with friends, I was supposed to go too but I got Bronchitis and spent a few days in bed instead. My friend Emily from Humboldt had a couple days off school while he was here so the three of us went adventuring around the country. We had a blast. Here is the result in photo.


Being tourists in Brussels.


In Bruges.


There was a hippy van selling waffles and ice cream, so I gave it a hug.


Self portrait of nous trois in Bruges. Kind of missed the pretty scenery part since our arms aren't that long.


But here is some pretty scenery comme meme.


Then we got some bread and brie and had a picnic in the grass. no shoes. how un-belge. how wonderful.


We were quite content.


and took a lot of great pictures. (200 on each camera)


It was a beautiful day.


so we played on the playground.


and hung out in a tunnel.
