The Brussels Abode

Well, we have finally arrived! We are settling in to our new home bit by bit. Our air shipment arrived on Friday, July 10th, which was amazing! They say that our sea shipment has arrived in Belgium, but it has to pass through customs and be delivered, so we are not sure when most of our things will arrive. Right now we are living on 4 chairs, a table, and a bed made of everything we could find. Ha! Really! We were planning to stay in a hotel until our sea shipment arrived (5-7 days), but after day 3, we were ready to get into our own place at all costs. So, we went on a search for an air mattress…didn’t find one, but we did find some alternate bedding. Ben bought a camping mat (inflatable by mouth to about an inch and a half) and I opted for a stack of cheap exercise mats. We then piled those with everything semi-soft that we could find…sheets, towels, a blanket or two, pillows, etc. (see picture) It’s pretty ghetto, but works, and it much better than commuting to and from the hotel every day.
