Hi everyone!

As most of you know, Ray has accepted a 2-year assignment with Toyota's European Headquarters in Brussels, Belgium. For those of you who do not know, Belgium is located next to France, Germany and the Netherlands. The home of NATO and the European Union, it is considered the "gateway to Europe" with its easy access to many European countries. (Hint, hint--good excuse to come and visit!)

Ray started his new position in February, 2008. The girls and I arrived here in late March. We are living just outside the city of Brussels in the commune of Tervuren, Belgium.

Although we are sad to temporarily leave our family and friends, we are excited for this adventure. What an opportunity to leave our tiny box and experience life outside of America!

"I've Never Seen That Before", Part I



While driving home, I saw a long line of people standing on the side of a trailer, so I decided to stop and check it out. They were selling rotisserie meats!



I figured I HAD to try this out, so bought a small chicken and a slab of ribs... Although it wasn't bad, I think El Pollo Loco and Tony Roma's have nothing to worry about....


What do you suppose they are selling here?



It's MILK! It comes in plastic liter bottles and can be stored at room temperature until you open it up. Then you have to keep it refrigerated! No wonder the refrigerators are so small here!
