This is Amelie Notomb and some of my friends.I had written a long blog about the whole day at "foire du livre" in brussels but somthing happened with blogger so it disappeared into Internet crap land.Needless to say I don't want to type it again.Just know that it was a STELLAR day.
Mons I went to mons the 20th with my history class.Its a really historicy town architechturally speaking but has some really cool super new space looking buildings in it that my hitory teacher kept making comments like " Its a question of taste!" about. I loved the old school/new school idea- and thoght that Mons was a buidiful place.There was also lots of sun that day. My history teacher gave us a tour in the morning and we pretty much had all day to shop eat and play with all the people I really like from school ( My history option class - 5éme C pour la vie ! ) This picture is me and sarah hugging the poles at the train station.
The next day I went to Waterloo with Monique ,the wife of Elie, a rotarian whose house I was staying at for the weekend.Waterloo is a monument on the-you guessed it-battlefield of Waterloo. Its steeep hill with steps up to it leading to a lion ( who is holding a globe in his paw and is apparently keeping the world in order so another battle like waterloo doesnt happpen again).When I put the 's' at the end of 'step' I meant it! There are 226 stepS leading up there.If my legs werent throbbing already read on for what I did the next day!
Durby adventures is this HUGE park of like white river rafting and rock climbing and tree hugging kind of stuff.The Rotex in Belgium planned a day there for all us inbounds.We did 4 high ropes courses, a big 'ol zipline ,and a maze. High ropes courses were super cool! I loved every minute!The zipline?In-freakin-credible! The photos of me on the zipline will soon be up on my flickr but for now my bruised knees should do you over! Pretty ROCK-n-Roll , eh? Get it? ROCK and roll? Still got it.
Today is Evas' birthday! Shes FIVE! Can't belive it. My little girls growing up so darn fast! I painted her what my mom would call a prayer box and bought her some candy and a birthday pencil.I think I'm more excited about her being five than I am.It is always hard for other people to be as hyped as I am for things.
So that folks was March Madness.Not really a whole lot of madness going on I just like alitteration.Whats in store for April? absolute awesomness and assonance! No,really, I'm heading to france the 4th of April for a week to go skiing and then I'll come home to go to carnaval with the Kovacics and after I'm moving to my fourth and final host family the Violas !
