So we are in Brussels, which to those of you who don´t know where that is it is in Belgium. We are facing a small crisis as Mark has misplaced some things, most importantly his passport. But to you moms out there who are worried we have everything under control. We have contacted the US Embassy and the Belgian Police. We believe a train station in Amiens France most likely has it we just face the problem of getting back there since Mark is a temporary John Doe.
Crisis aside, Paris was awesome. We had bad weather our first day and were limited to what we could do but we had decent weather that evening and saw the Arc de Triumph, walked down the Champs Elysess, saw our first glimpses of the Eiffel Tower and had a nice french picnic in the park with wine and all, you can drink where ever you want. The next day was our D Day beaches excursion which we wrote about, very powerful.
We then had to squeeze everything else into Friday and Saturday morning. We saw the Palace of Versailles, the Sacre Cour, Notre Dame and the Louvre on Friday. Saturday on another gloomy day we went to the top of the Tower, very high.
It then took us approx six hours to get here to Brussels. First impressions are good, the town seems very modern but I kind of like my so far limited view of it. Today will be spent figuring out the passport situation, taking the edge off with THE BEST BEER IN THE WORLD, and shopping for Belgian chocolates for all of you back at home.
We are all looking forward to seeing you all soon.
Peace, Love
The Boys

I hope all works out smoothly with the missing passport; I'm sure it happens to many people. It's no doubt good to have several friends around to help get it squared away. Here's a trivia question related to beer that you can quiz the barkeeps in Belgium with. "what are the rings of foam called that cling to the side of the beer glass after each swallow of a well made beer?" Answer = Brussels Lace. Notice Bud Light has no brussels lace.
Take care boys. God bless.

P.S. If I hadn't been called by God to be married, perhaps He would have called me to the peaceful life of a monk in a Trappist monestary in Belgium, overseeing brewing operations...
One worried mom here....but glad to hear you MAY have things under control. To bad about the weather in Paris, but I guess you can't complain, well yes you can, but all and all you've had good weather. Sounds like your day will be spent on a search for the missing Passport. Well good luck with that, and don't forget the Chocolates xo xo Take deep breaths, have a beer and things will be fine. Hope to hear back so we don't have to worry...Peace Love and Happiness....One of "The Mom's" (welcome John Doe to the group)
Sending love and prayers from all of us here in Hudson. Sorry Mark is now John but I am sure this will all work out. Stay focused, take care of each other and God speed to you Sparky.
We love you.
Had a great weekend on Lake Okoboji in Iowa. Most of our time was on the water. Looking forward to seeing your handsome faces.
I am glad you liked Paris. To me it is a magical place. I loved Versailles.
Enjoy your last days.
Hugs,
