Currently still a bit jet lagged and adapting to Belgian time, but more importantly settled into my new home away from home and loving Leuven. Above is a photo of all 21 of us Loyola-K.U. Leuven students in front of city hall, perhaps one of the most intricately designed pieces of architecture I've seen.
Since arrival we have taken numerous tours of the town and campus to get acclimated with our surroundings. The town is a bit confusing to maneuver around, it is like a pinwheel if you will. The center of town is known as the longest bar in Europe, it is literally just restaurant after pub after cafe, all in a huge marketplace. From there a bunch of streets jet off; my street is schaapenstraat, which literally means sheeps street i learned today.
It was funny to even see they have palm trees in the center of town; even with the chillier more mild, year long temperatures they must do well. I will try to keep up with this blog, especially pictures. Love to all, miss you all, Brigette
