10:32 pm - Belgium--7th day
|
For the first time since coming to Belgium, I slept in. 'Til 10:45! Guess I was tired...
After getting ready, my roomate and I went and had lunch at a little restaurant just off the Market Square. I had "Flemish Carbonade and chips," which basically means chunks of pot roast in a dark gravy, and fries. I've been eating my fries Belgian style, which means with mayonnaise.
After lunch we went to the Basilica of the Holy Blood on the Burg Square. I've been walking past it all week. The lower chapel is very old, basically just stone walls with a few statues and no other decoration. The upper chapel is a bit newer (still five or six hundred years old) and is very decorated. They were having a "veneration" of the relic that's there, supposedly a vial of Christ's blood that a Crusader brought back from the Holy Land. It was very interesting. We also went into the small museum that is in the church, which had some very old church items (including two chasubles from the 15th century that were gorgeously embroidered).
When we finished with the church, we took a bus to the Bruges train station and a train to a small sea town called Ostend (Oostende in Flemish). The first thing we saw after leaving the train station was a large cathedral (big surprise!). It had two towers and was called Saints Peter and Paul Church (I can't remember the whole name in Flemiah). It was beautiful inside. What was unique about this church was that you could walk up alongside the altar and then go behind it to another small room, where sat a large marble statue. There was a man there who told us about the statue and what it represented, then told us about the sculptor, too. After leaving the church, we walked a bit along the Promenade, went into a few shops, and went onto the beach. I collected some shells and got to walk in the North Sea. We came back pretty late tonight.

9:15 pm - Belgium--6th day
|
As I sit here right now, I am listening to the carillon concert being played on the Belfort. It is so amazing. It's been great hearing it ring automatically for the last 6 dayas, but now it's even better! These songs are very complex. It started at 9:00, and now I'm listening to the fourth song. The songs aren't all classical, either. This one has a bit of a jazzy feel.
Today was the last day of my writing seminar. It was very intersting, and I'll miss seeing some of the people, but we didn't work much together. Or rather, there were 24 of us in the class and we were only allowed to work in pairs, and only with someone we hadn't worked with already. So, my Spacecamp friends, no worries--you're still at the top of my "new friends" list... ;)
(Okay, definitely strange--the current song of the carillon concert is ragtime!)
Anyway, after the last class ended today, I ended up getting the last of the souvenirs I was going to buy. They were heavy, so I went back to the hotel to drop them off. It started raining quite heavily as I was going there. Unfortunately, the room gets quite stuffy when you can't open up the windows (no air conditioning), so the last place I want to be when it's pouring outside is in my room! I decided to go for a walk, tracing the path I took on the bike tour (I thought I'd stay away from the Market Square and all the souvenir shops so I wouldn't spend any more money). I followed the Ring Road, the road that parallels the canals that circle Bruges Centre, then left the city along a road that runs along Napoleon's canal (not the name of it, but that's who had it built) toward Damme. Then it started to rain again. Hard. Before I could get the umbrella detached from my purse, it was already pouring. Luckily I was wearing a waterproof jacket with a hood, so I pulled it up over my head while detaching my umbrella. I didn't even consider turning around and going back. It was the rain that had made me leave Bruges in the first place, after all. It was fantastic, walking in the pouring rain alongside a Napoleonic canal in Belgium. The surreality of it all just made it better. I walked for quite a distance (probably about 10 km), then turned around when my feet started hurting. On the way back I decided to try to find the place with the sheep, but I couldn't find the right street to turn on. However, the best thing of all today was the rainbow. Or rather, rainbows. There were three of them that I could see, but I did see a slight flicker below the top one that could very well have been a reflection of that one. I took several pictures, and they turned out just lovely. I managed to cross a canal while it was there, so I have a couple pictures of the rainbows over a tree-lined canal. I'm going to blow those up and frame them. I'll definitely post those online.

8:05 pm - Belgium--5th day
|
Today I had a very religious journey. I wanted to go to mass at the Church of Our Lady (hte largest cathedral in Bruges), but there was only one offered, at 11:00 AM, and I'm in class from 10:00-1:30. However, I did manage to get there later in the day. It is truly spectacular. There is a Michelangelo statue of the Madonna and Child there, plus hundreds of other paintings and statues from the medieval period. I'll have to post some pictures. Later I went to the Church of the Beguinage, a church in the Begijnhof, which was a center for religious single and widowed women who had not taken religious vows. It now houses some Benedictine nuns. I went past and around a third church, Sint Salvatorskathedral, but did not go inside. It is below the level of the street as it is at the medieval ground level (the ground level has been raised over hundreds of years of people throwing trash on the ground), so it is reached by a stairway going down from the street. My fourth church today was Sint Walburgakirk (kirk is the Flemish word for church). It was also a beautiful church. What was really fantastic about this church was that I was the only one in it except for a woman whose job it was to watch out for vandals and such. All the other churches I've been in here so far were so crowded, it was hard to really appreciate the ambiance. Anyway, that was mostly what I did today. So even though I didn't get to mass, I was surrounded by churches...

8:00 pm - Belgium--4th day
|
After class today, I finally experienced some of Belgium's famous fries (frieten). After eating them and paying €1,50 for a can of Coke (almost $2.00--which is actually quite cheap--they usually go for about €1,70-€2,00 for a smaller size bottle), I went on a bike tour of Bruges, the surrounding countryside, and the town of Damme. It was so beautiful. When we got to our turn-around spot, we stopped at a beer-garden and I got a waffle and a beer. This waffle was the lightest, crispiest waffle I've ever had. I got it with whipped cream on it. Yum! The beer was a locally-brewed variety (made in Damme), very dark, with a strong flavor. That's all I can say about it; like I said before, I'm not a beer drinker. I actually did drink the whole bottle--I've got it with me for proof. Anyway, it was interesting. I'm glad I went. I'm not going to be qble to walk tomorrow, but I'm glad I went. On the way back from dropping off the bikes, it started to rain. I didn't have an umbrella or rain coat, of course, so I got soaked. An interesting thing that happened during the ride was that we stopped at one of the stopping points (a field near an old herring market--not in modern times, thankfully), and a sheep had gotten out of the fence. We saw where it had pushed through two pieces of fence, so the tour guide held the fence open, and I chased it back in. It took several tries, but I did it. So I got to play sheepherder today, too. It was pretty funny.

10:35 pm - Belgium--3rd day
|
Today after class, I went walking in a direction I hadn't been before. I ended up, finally, by the canals. I walked along, finding a place to do my "homework" assignment. It was, like most of our assignments, drawing and writing. Before I got sketching and writing, I ate a real Belgian Belgian waffle. It was heavy, kinda like a sweet, dense bread in the shape of a waffle.
Okay, so I got to see the canals today. I'm hoping to go on a canal tour while I'm here. I also explored the areas around the Church of Our Lady, which is absolutely huge and very beautiful. I took lots of pictures. I'll put them up as soon as I get home. I hope to get inside the church next time; there is a Michelangelo statue of the Madonna and Child.
Went to dinner with a woman who lives in London, though she's lived in about 5 other countries and can speak their languages, too. Then we went walking agin. Once more, I found the canals. What a great day!

6:00 pm - Belgium--2nd day
|
Today while wandering I found a local supermarket. It was interesting to see which brands are the same here and at home. What's even more interesting are the flavors of those foods. For instance, I've seen Lay's potato chips with flavors such as ketchup, paprika, and barbecued ham.
I bought a few more souvenirs today, but that's all I did for most of the day. I got a stomach ache and came back to the room.
Then, about 7:00 PM, my roomate and the other two ladies who are staying at this hotel (also Americans) went out to the Irish pub for dinner. It was "All You Can Eat" barbecue night, but only my roomate got it. The rest of us were not really hungry enough. Tonight I got Beef and Gunness stew with mashed potatoes on top (not quite as good as the cottage pie). I also had a pint of the cider. The waiter was very nice both nights (it was the same one). I also tasted a local Belgian beer--it was a cherry beer, and it was quite good, for a beer. I am just not a beer drinker. We stayed for almost 2 hours, then went back to the hotel.

8:30 pm - in Belgium--first full day
|
Being here is so very different. Everything is so old. The streets are paved in cobblestones, and most of them are one-way streets. Yesterday I took a taxi from the Bruges train station to my hotel, and he took the streets rather quickly, seemingly unconcerned about the pedestrians and bicyclists who weresharing the road with us. I spent most of my time today in the Market Square (Markt in Flemish/Dutch--I'm still not sure what it is they actually speak here). There are tons of little cafés lining the sides. The giant Belltower (Belfort) plays its bells every 15 minutes (Ode to Joy and one or two other songs). It has 366 steps and costs 5 Euros to climb them.
It rained today and I got pretty wet. When I got back to my hotel, I heard it get louder, and realized that it was hailing. I was glad to beat the majority of the downpour. I ventured out again in search of dinner. Most sit-down restaurants around here cost about €16 (that's Euros). I decided to go to an Irish pub, where it was very filling and only cost €12. I got a Cottage Pie, which was a casserole of ground beef, carrots, mushrooms, leeks, and celery, topped with mashed potatoes and covered in a dark gravy. It was delicious, fantastically seasoned, and very hot. I also got q hqlf-pint of an alcoholic cider that was very good, qnd quite mild.
By the time I left, it was barely sprinkling.I then came back to my room and wrote out most of my postcards. This place is interesting; I look forward to getting to know it better over the next few days.
Oh--sorry about any typos. I really think I caught most of them, but the keyboard here is set up totally differently. All the normal punctation marks and all the numbers are in the upper (shift) spots (and some are in totally different places, tooo), and about 6 of the letters have been moved. It's really kinda freaky. I can' t type at all quickly, as when I do, it becomes illegible.

9:40 pm - update
|
|
I have been one busy little bee lately. I've driven over 1500 miles in the last 6 days. First I went to visit Dawn in Arizona (see Space Camp pictures), and Riki was there visiting from Texas, too. I arrived on Friday about 11:00 PM, having driven since about 4:00 PM. The next day, we went to the Challenger Space Center in Peoria, AZ. It was so much fun. We got to do a shuttle simulation there. Dawn was Navigator, Riki was Data, and I was Communications. Basically, Riki typed messages sending data from Mission Control to the Space Station and back again (we switched locations halfway through so we could experience both Mission Control and the Station), Dawn was responsible for navigating us and finding the location of a comet, and I was in charge of getting messages from the various specialists to their counterparts on either the station or mission control. We had fun riding around in Dawn's new MANLY truck she had bought for her husband just the day before (long story) and reminiscing about Space Camp (hard to believe it was less than a month ago that we arrived there...). That night we went into Scottsdale and had dinner, then walked around the little shops in Old Town (pretty much everything was closed, but it was too expensive to buy anything anyway, so that's okay). Afterward we went back to Dawn's house and called Darren in Australia. It was almost midnight our time on Saturday night, but it was afternoon Sunday for him. I left about 11:00 Sunday morning.
On the way home, I made a slight detour and went to visit Paul (cepault on NWeb), from whom I got Ari, my bird. I showed him pictures of Ari and we talked for a few hours. I got to see the helicopter he works in up close. He took a picture of the two of us in front of the helo. Hopefully I'll get to see it posted somewhere (hint, hint...) I made it home around 8:30 PM, I think.
The next day, I got my kids back and we drove to Oakland. My parents and my Aunt, Uncle, and three cousins from Pennsylvania had already been there for a few days. We went out to dinner that night. The next day, Tuesday, we got out of the hotel at around 10:00 AM and drove into town (we had to take this tunnel that goes under the bay--really cool). We parked in a parking lot and took the BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) train into San Francisco. The BART is kinda like a subway, but sometimes it goes above ground. We then took a streetcar to Pier 39. We walked around, shopped, and had lunch. Afterwards we went on a boat tour of the San Francisco Bay. It was interesting. We went underneath the Golden Gate Bridge and right past Alcatraz Island. I got some great pictures. I'll post them soon. We left the next day (today) at about 12:30 PM and got home tonight at 6:30 PM.
So I'm pretty tired. Tomorrow I have dentist appointments scheduled for my kids and I also need to do a few things to get ready for my trip to Belgium. Friday I'm getting ready for school. Saturday I'm supposed to be meeting with Bill (from Space Camp) and his family for lunch as they are travelling through here on their way to Tehachapi. Sunday I don't have anything else planned, except to get ready for my trip and spend time with my kids. I'm already exhausted, and my house is a mess. I'm going to have to fit cleaning up and relaxing into the next few days, too. Twenty-four hours a day are not enough to fit everything in!
Oh, well. I guess I can rest when I'm dead.
My motto for this summer is "Experience Life!" (Though I think I'm going to pass on the skydiving that my friend Shannon suggested to me last week--she's doing it sometime in the next couple weeks. I just don't have the money for it, for one thing...) ;)

5:47 pm - Space Camp
|
WOO! I'm back from Space Camp. That was the most amazing experience of my life (okay, maybe not quite as amazing as giving birth to my kids, but it was also a lot less painful...) I met some of the greatest people there. Let me just say that teachers are awesome. My group, Destiny (WOO-HOO!), was the best group there. We just bonded so well. Our couselor, Dan, was fantastic. We did some spectacular things when we were there. We met two astronauts (two-time shuttle astronaut Robert Springer--STS-29 and STS-38; Richard Gordon--Gemini XI and Apollo XII) and actually got to ask questions of them. We also heard another astronaut speak (Walter Cunningham--Apollo 7). We met and asked questions of Dr. George Mueller, a Ph.D. in Physics, who was responsible for the Gemini, Apollo, and Saturn programs, and originated Skylab, the first space station. He's also considered to be the "Father of the Space Shuttle." We also met Ed Buckbee, a well-known NASA employee who worked in public relations, knew all of the early astronauts, and helped start Space Camp. He wrote a book about the space program, which he signed for all of us. We were present for the third annual Saturn V reunion, and got to meet many of the people who worked on that program. The first Saturn V rocket is actually there at the US Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. They're actually restoring the rocket and will be constructing a building to house it.
The whole experience was so amazing that I can't even express it. The only people who can truly understand are the ones who were there with me. I will be posting some pictures soon. First I have to get all 437 onto my computer...

11:00 pm - five more days
|
Only five more days until I go to Space Camp. It's hard to believe it's almost here. I found out a week or two ago that another teacher I know from another district is also going. I saw him this past week because we were both at the same training, and got to say to him on Friday, "See you in Alabama in 10 days!" How often do you get to say that to someone else?
Ari's doing fine. His beak is turning black (which is perfectly normal for a moustache parakeet). Eventually it will turn back to orange again, since he's a male. Females' beaks stay black once they change.

School is almost over! Just seven more days! (I'm not keeping track or anything, mind you...)
Ack! School is almost over! I should really be grading papers. I still have several tests to grade before I can do report cards.
A few days ago I met with the Boeing rep and she gave me a DVD showing last year's group at Space Camp. Looks exciting. Actually, looks like a whole bunch of teachers pretending they're kids and playing...
Ari is doing fine. He's getting used to his cage, running back and forth on his perch, finding the last new toy, climbing all over the place, chirping a lot... He was sitting on my shoulder earlier, but he kept trying to eat my shirt.
I bought some new luggage. I figure I'll need it, being in Europe for 11 days.

9:49 pm - exciting news
|
|
I learned last night that I'll be getting my bird on Saturday. I'm really excited. I had to go out and buy a few things for him today. I got (of all things) a bird cookbook. Many of the recipes are entirely edible by people, though some have crushed bird pellets or cuddlebones in them. And many times where there's an egg in the recipe, it calls for leaving the shell on. Some of the recipes are very interesting. Well, I don't know how often I'll have the time to cook for my bird, though I shall certainly try to do it every once in a while. I have to finish getting ready for his arrival tonight, tomorrow night, and Saturday before the afternoon. Aaah! Hope I can get everything done in time.
There was a message on my answering machine last night from the Boeing representative. Apparently she has a DVD showing last year's group and some of the activities they did. I called her back today, and talked to her for about 15 minutes. She is very nice. She's going to drop the DVD off at work on Thursday, since we're not out of school yet. I'm the only teacher from the area going this year. She says that there are a few others from So. Cal. going, and a few from other places around the world. Wow! Every time I hear more about it, I feel more and more lucky to be the one to have been picked...
That's about it. When I get pictures of my bird, I'll try to post them. Oh-almost forgot. I'm totally disgusted by the fact that so many people I know (especially online--you NWebbers, you!) are already out of school. I still have to wait until June 22! *sticks tongue out at everyone already out of school*

Nothing much new to report. I did buy a new camera a few days ago. It's a 6MP Olympus with a huge 2.5" LCD screen. I bought a 1 GB memory card to go with it, which will hold almost 700 pictures at a time. That should take me a few days to fill up. Last year on vacation, I took about 140 pictures a day.
I got my car back. It seems to be running okay, and you can't even tell that the bumper was replaced. I made a fuss, so they only charged me for the battery, not the service fee or the labor (though $94 is a lot to pay for a battery).
My son got sick last night and threw up in two rooms, so I didn't get much of a chance to relax after my trying week. I spent over an hour cleaning it up. (Yuck!) He's feeling better now, though. I don't know if he's got a bug, or if it was just something he ate. I'm hoping something just didn't agree with his stomach.

6:07 pm - Another bad day
|
|
The car is the culprit again. Every time I talked to anyone about it, they said that it sounded like the alternator, because if the battery is dead, it's just dead. But I could just barely get it started, then it would die when it was running. That's why I brought it to the dealer instead of just an auto parts store. Anything besides the battery is covered by the warranty still, as long as it's fixed at the dealership.
So I dropped it off on Monday evening. They were supposed to get it fixed the next day. When I called them after 5 on Tuesday, however, they said that they hadn't even had a chance to look at it. So it was still there this morning. Before 11 AM today, they'd called me to say that the battery was dead (duh!) and that they were going to have to replace it in order to diagnose anything else. So then they quoted me a price that's about 3 times the cost of a battery at an auto parts store, including the $30 labor to install it (I want a job where I get paid $30 for 5 minutes' work!). Meanwhile, I'm just getting more and more exasperated at this point, but I'm willing to pay it to just get it fixed and back to me! So I gave them the OK to put the new battery in.
Keep in mind that I've been told over and over that it would be ready the next day, and I still don't know if what's wrong with it is going to be covered under the warranty. If it is, I'm also covered for a rental car. But no one has told me what's wrong with it yet, so I've just been getting someone to drive me around. This is not only a hassle for all concerned, but it's eating up a lot of gas, which isn't cheap! The cheapest it's been around here lately is about $3.33, for the lowest octane.
Anyway, I didn't hear anything from them all day after that. At 4:45 I called to see what was going on with the car. They couldn't get me in touch with the service advisor, so I was dealing with someone who didn't know the full picture. All she could tell me was that it didn't appear to be finished. At about 5:00 she told me that she would get the service advisor to call me back within 30 minutes.
5:30 passed and I still didn't hear from them. Finally at 5:40 (they close at 6 PM), I called them. Once again, I was put on hold as they tried to get the service advisor. He was helping another customer. Finally, he came on the line. He said that it looked like the new battery solved the problem (I won't believe it until I go for a couple of years with no problems from the electical systems). Then, he told me the clincher.
He said that as the service tech was backing it out, he hit another car! It didn't cause much damage, he assured me, but the right rear bumper will need to be replaced. The parts are on order and it should be done tomorrow. Ha! Okay, once again, I'll need to see it to believe it! They're going to pay for a rental car for me tomorrow, and the dealership's shuttle will pick me up around 8 AM to take me there. Luckily I don't have to be at work until 9 AM, and it's only 25 minutes away, otherwise I'd have major problems...
Aaaagh! I need...chocolate, or ice cream, or a spa, or a massage, or --something! Unfortunately, I can't get any of those, since I AM STUCK WITHOUT A CAR! Today has been really tough...

8:54 pm - bad day
|
Well, my day started out badly. It didn't get too much worse after that, but that beginning just kinda put a pall over the whole day. I went outside, got in the car, and tried to start it. It wouldn't start. I finally got it to start by stepping on the gas as I was turning the key, but the whole way to work I was afraid it was going to die. I had to drive with one foot on the gas and one on the brake just to keep the car running. I thought it might be the battery, but a coworker said it sounded more like the alternator. After work I had to bring it to the dealer (it's still under warranty). I'm getting picked up for work tomorrow. Hopefully, whether it's the battery or the alternator, it'll be fixed by the time I get off work tomorrow. Not having a car this evening threw off a few other plans, but nothing I can't work around. Oh, well. C'est la vie. Oh, I almost forgot. My tickets for the trip to SpaceCamp have been confirmed. I leave July 10th from LAX sorta early in the morning.

10:44 pm - two steps closer
|
Well, two things happened today that put me closer to my travel experiences. I got an email from the travel agent booking my flight for Alabama (Space Camp), and I got my passport paperwork turned in. So everything is still moving forward with my travel plans. I've still got to check into Eurostar tickets. The Eurostar is the train that goes through Europe. It crosses the English Channel through the Chunnel and will take me to London for my one-day stopover there.
More and more I have found that everything in between now and my adventures seems unreal, like I'm just treading water until I take the big plunge(s). In just two months, my Space Camp adventure will already be over. Wow! I wonder if it will change me as a person...? I can't wait to find out.
You know, every time I've thought about writing something, which is really a dream of mine (at least one novel before I die), I think: I need some more life experience; I haven't done enough. Well, with all the trips, and then on top of that the creative writing seminar in Belgium, I think my confidence in my writing will see a vast improvement. Not to mention all the possible subject matter! I already have two ideas for SMK fanfic stories, which my experiences will fill in with necessary details...

1:34 am - First post
|
Well, as it's kinda late, I'm going to make this quick. The last month or so has opened up a lot of opportunities for me.
I got offered a chance to go to Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama (technically it's Space Academy for Educators) for six days in July, all expenses paid. Boy, am I going to have to buy a lot of souvenirs for everyone!
I'm also going to be getting a bird (a Moustache Parakeet) sometime in June and have already bought a nice big cage for him.
In August, I'll be going to Bruges, Belgium for nine days followed by a day in London. I'll be taking a creative writing seminar in Bruges for six of those days, and will travel to Brussels at least one of the extra days. I'm really looking forward to it! In London I'm going to go see "Les Miserables," which I saw once before in 1989. I can't wait!
Also in August, I'm going to go to San Francisco on a short family vacation.
So basically, I'm going to have a very full summer, since I also have two weeks of professional development scheduled.
At the moment, all my travel arrangements for the Belgium trip have been made. I should be contacted shortly by the travel agent to make the arrangements for Space Camp. On Thursday I'll be turning in the paperwork for my passport. Things are moving along! I'll try to keep this journal updated as much as possible.
current mood: sleepy
