We arrived at the Brussels airport about 8:30 AM local time. We were exhausted from the 8-hour flight, but excited and ready to enjoy Belgium. Mary Hellwig, Kris' sister, picked us up and brought us to her and husband Frank's home in Louvain. 
Mary had a delicious breakfast for us consisting of expresso, pate, bread, cheeses and, of course, Nutella - very European. I wondered where was the Belgian waffles, but was told that waffles were an afternoon snack -maybe later.

After breakfast, Mary took me for a walk to the city center where I met a very intriguing woman. She was an expert on the Bronze Age, but didn't have much to say. I shared a bench with her and told her of the upcoming World Cup match.
