Mike McLellan's Postcards
The best adventures are those that contain surprises. There are wonders to be discovered by getting lost in the Highlands of Scotland or on the back roads of New England. There may just be a chance to meet a special character who changes your life. In ancient times these were sometimes known as angels.
WELCOME
This blog is about the adventure of traveling and especially the interesting people that you meet. We will share stories about people and places we have encountered from around the United States, Ireland, Scotland, England, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, France, Canada, Spain, Mexico, The Vatican, The Netherlands, Belgium, Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Liechtenstein, Portugal, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, and more. This is not a travelogue -- we leave that to Rick Steves -- this is a collection of fragments in the journey of life.

Brussels Belgium - sleeper
Because Belgium does not have a prominant airline, to visit you will likely go throught Paris, London or a German city. I suggest Paris. At CDG you only need to go downstairs from arrivals and catch a traing to Brussels. Not expensive and very convenient.
While in Brussels you must have Belgium waffles and Belgium fries (French fries were invented in Belgium.) You will eat your fries with mayonaise if authentic.

Spending Money
When we first went to Europe twenty years ago, the Euro was worth $1.56. The exchange rate was a little tough. As I write this the Euro is only worth $1.05 and may be equal (1 to 1) when our planned trip to Europe happens this summer.
