We have been super busy the last few weeks, which is a good sign that we have settled into our new lives here in Belgium. The weather has definitely changed to have a fall chill in the air, and the sunlight hours are quickly dwindling. However, Antwerp is still alive as ever with events of all types occurring each weekend. On the past couple Saturdays we have stumbling across a mountain biking/bmx biking competition, a singing exhibition, and a sail boat race. The strange bikes had no seats, and the riders competed for time by completing different obstacle courses without falling. The next weekend the square was transformed so various singing clubs and choirs could perform. And there is always a fair amount of river traffic, but a sail boat race filled up the water this past weekend. We also worked in a Think Pink 6k. It was a fun run with the same upbeat environment we have experienced at U.S. Race For The Cure events. Antwerp continues to amaze us with the variety and frequency of events in the city. Our schedule has also gotten a bit more hectic with the start of Fall Dutch classes. Last week we started an evening class at the university that runs three nights per week. We are starting at level one, but the course is moving quickly, and we still have hope we can learn to speak at a moderate level by the end of the semester.

| He is just jumping between tree logs while balancing on one bike tire. No big deal. |

| Soo many sail boats! |
