Bruge

So we went to this amazingly beautiful town, but my internet keeps cutting in and out so I can't post them right now. We, being Molly, Jenny, Christy, Julia, Johanna, and Emily, stood on our first train platform and embarked on our first, belgian adventure. The train was a lot of fun and time passed quickly as we talked and laughed and got to know each other even better. Everyone is a lot of fun. Molly and Christy are super-expressive and so entertaining. Julia knows the most random facts. Jenny and Emily are just fun. Johanna is our friend from Finland. Skylar, Molly and I met her at church. Oh yeah, we went to church on Sunday night with Esri, the lady who serves us dinner. It was a lot like Antioch with Hillsong songs in dutch and english. She and I clicked immediately. I like her a lot, she is very sweet, and loves God. Skylar asked me tonight if she and I were "like soulmates or something." We pretty much are... Back to Bruge, the town we visited, it's also known as Burgess. It is straight out of a fairy-tale book, every time you turn a corner you are awed by the beauty of the town, it is gorgeous. We climbed these incredibly narrow, winding stairs to the tope of the tallest bell-tower, it was quite an adventure and totally worth it. I have a video but once again, this crazy internet isn't working so well. We ate the best chocolate I have ever had in my life and I bought a little lace hanky with my initials on it, for when I run out of kleenex. (kinda gross, but kinda cool and old-fashioned). That was yesterday, today a very out-going Greek male named Panoas moved in across the hall. He is funny and somewhat inexplicable, we went over to take him a sandwich because everything is closed here for carnival, and he ended up talking to us for an hour. He's not creepy or anything but he's very much a i-want-to-know-you-now kind of person, which means he asks very personal questions very quickly. I think he already thinks of me as a little sister (he's 24). He informed Jenny and I that he thought we were nice but wasn't attracted to us, but he would help us find good-looking, nice guys if we would help him find a good girl. He thinks we should find and have a boyfriend for the three months we're here. I think he likes to talk a lot about girlfriends and boyfriends and stuff like that but really he's a good guy who loves his family and little sister. We'll see but you'l probably hear more about him, since he's decided to take me under his wing. Ok I need to go, but coments are always encouraging. We leave for Turkey on Thursday morning but are going to Brussels tomorrow.
