TravelerOMG. No dogs for you Susan. How did you ever find a Doctor on a Sunday afternoon?
TravelerThe Dr. Luckily was walking just ahead of me. I just walked to a private hospital. It was $147 euros to see him and I waited about an hour and a half.....The owner was such a jerk. He carried a stick to control his pup....it was not the dogs fault however Belgians can be super aggressive. The problem was the speed at which the dog changed directions. I am totally fine♥️♥️

Wow! No dinner needed after that feast for lunch.

Nice salad. surprised you could move after that. What did the convent look like. At least you beat the rush.
