Long layover. Doing logistics for the train ride to Antwerp then to the races. Getting eSims and having cards declined because of suspected fraud. Good news, we have our World Cup tickets!

Our customs officer didn’t know who Mathieu van der Poel is. I’m very disappointed.
Flew right over NYC. Times Square was shining bright

Took the train to Antwerp and found the house we are staying in. We took velo bikes to the race. I loved it but Courtney was hesitant in the crowds, cobbles, and cars. We took a tunnel under theЧитать далее

We slept hard with the time change. Not as bad as our 12 hour slumber yesterday though. Went to the ice skating rink, De Kathedraal, grote markt, the midevil fortress het Steen, and het Vleeshuis. HadЧитать далее

Gavere World Cup was wild. The course was muddy and the hillsides got destroyed with 17k fans. More frites, beer, and techno. We stopped in Gent on the way back and checked out the Christmas festival.
