The wonders of a good night's sleep.
Up around 9am, coffee and breakfast and wow – time for another nap.
We sorted and organized the RV and checked with the office about an
adapter. Sure, they had one, so we bought that and our fancy new
step down transformer worked like a charm. We have electricity!!
We headed to a Carrefour to do some
grocery shopping. It is a French 'hyperstore' the original big box
store that spawned WalMart. It was a bit of challenge because
everything is in Dutch, but we managed to figure most things out.
Although I am sure we are in for a few surprises when we open some of
the condiments and spices I bought.
The weather was cool and cloudy all
morning, but the sun came out when we were leaving the grocery store.
We returned to the RV for a late lunch. We couldn't figure out the
difference between the blue and green labels on the mayonnaise, but
the blue label tasted good – a bit thicker and creamier than our
usual brand.
Jack spent a couple of hours chasing
financial information and recording our expenses. An expensive
couple of days, but things should settle down now that we have all
the big ticket items purchased.
Today was a maintenance day just
catching up with life's ordinary errands. Tomorrow we plan to spend
the day in the old town section of Brugge, just a mile or so away.
The entire town has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site and we
are looking forward to exploring the town and seeing Michelangelo's
famous Madonna and Child that some of you may have seen in the recent
movie, Monument Men.
