This past week nothing too much new has happened. We are waiting on a part before the experimental work can start for my project. It has been really cold here. I didn't realize how far north I was.
Buying produce at the grocery store this week was interesting. I got in trouble for getting my own produce. Apparently they're supposed to get it for you, and they didn't like when I bagged my own potatoes and was weighing them for a label. A bit odd I think.
I had been wanting to go to one of the rock climbing gyms in Brussels. I found some people here at the VKI that go once or twice a week, so I went with them Wednesday. It was a lot of fun and a really good workout. It is one of the oldest (if not the oldest) rock gym in the world. It started in 1987. It was a bit crowded, but a lot of fun and very challenging.
I've got a rough idea of my future weekends:
june 13 - luxembourg
june 20 - amsterdam
june 27 (3 day weekend) - paris
july 4 - vki soaring trip
july 11 (bastille day weekend) - paris
july 18 (3 day weekend) - cologne
I will leave the following weekend (july 25 is my last day). I'm not sure where I will go exactly (I'm thinking about Spain or Greece). Spend a few days wherever, and then fly to Greenbay, WI where I will take a shuttle to Oshkosh for the EAA airventure show. The world's largest airshow.

haha, aren't you supposed to be having the time of your life in luxembourg right now? Find any good looking new zealand girls to hang out with this time?

Are you anywhere near Mons, Belgium?
There's a great article in Wed's Science Times (section D of the NYT) about a museum there (called the Mundaneum) dedicated to a guy whose pioneering work foreshadowed the Internet by decades. I've e-mailed it to your gmail account.
We love you blog! Everyday I get up and wonder: "Where's William today?" Your blog let's us find out and enjoy the adventure.
Your "Leaning Tower of William" shot is brilliant! Keep it up. Love, Uncle Gaines
Greece is fantastic... I adored Athens, and the islands are gorgeous, I hear. Spain, though, would be cool if you had connections there... I finally found your pictures and your blog!! It looks marvelous. Jealous for the brie sandwiches and pains au chocolat... Is the book still helpful at all? -- Addie
