juin sept

woke up EARLY
my god
to the sound of aunty june yelling at alise to get up and go to school
fun
went downstairs and ate some granola bars and watched aunty june do intensity
then we drove to brussels in belgium and i learned about the great war in belgium
we were running really late but when we walked in there katherine was just walking out
we accidentally took a 30 minute detour around the french speaking part of brussels
we finally got home and alise got home from school at noon
we ate pasta and pizza for lunch
then got ready and walked aroun rue pietuné
which is a shopping street where cars are not allowed to drive
we stopped in pretty much every store
then we walked further to the museum and ran into the gay pride festival that was going on
we sat by the fountain and watched for a while
then we walked back and bought crepes and ice cream
we ran into sophie on our walk home and walked into the park instead
we sat in the park castle for an hour and just talked
it was shady there so we kinda didnt want to move
we went back home and fixed the bikes and then went to fish concept
it was only a block away and it was the weirdest experience ever
it was like a bajillion little kisses on your feet
(alises fish were very lazy so we switched a couple times)
we  stopped and bought a merveiux cake before we got home at my favorite place and there was a line out the door
we got home and had dinner and ate cake and then went out to bike
we biked through the streets of Lille then through a giant forest
the back of the forest was this weird ancient military base
we pretty much biked around the entire thing and then stopped at this funny exercise place
trying everythihng was hilarious
we biked further and further until we crossed into a different city which was lambersart
it was a cute little edward scissorhands neighborhood
then we went to the city garden with giant potted plants
we biked along the entire side river and crossed a dozen bridges
it was already around 11pm
we started heading home but instead we took the city path
lots of yelling from cars and from people
and we finally got home around 1130
shower and then sleep
