bonjour paris!

i just woke up... in france.

very cool. the last few days have been a bit of a whirlwind. monday, we spent the day walking around thessoloniki, greece. beautiful! i had an amazing greek pita from a little hole in the wall for lunch... and a greek salad for dinner (i had too!). tuesday (my birthday!), we were in three countries. we woke up in greece, had a layover in italy for a few hours (we left the airport and saw the colleseum and the trevi fountain and ate some gelato!) and finally made it 'home' to belgium before midnight. wednesday morning i repacked my things and got on the train to paris!

yesterday was a good day to get settled and acclimated with the kids and al and nicole. we had a young couple over for dinner. they work for YWAM out of Quebec and are currently traveling to visit some teams. it was cool to meet with them and hear a little of their heart and passion. (oh, and we had a french dinner... crepes!)


i'm excited to be here and see what is going to unfold for me! so far, it's been an 'easy' transition to this whole european thing. europe pleases me :). please continue to pray that the transition goes well and that i will be able to connect with some specific people while i'm here!

this morning i'm going to walk with the kids to school so i can get a better idea of the neighborhood, etc... we're leaving shortly!

grace & peace.

I love the Trevi Fountain. And I'm glad you got to have some Italian gelato, it is a necessity.
