Well we schlepped the whole family plus bikes and wheels to the Premiere Coup du Mond (1st World Cup) yesterday. Jon is still getting his sea legs (literally) as riding at sea level actually has a different and not always positive effect on muscle activity for those that reside at altitude. So, the Kalmthout World Cup was good practice for Jon. Tabor (in the Czech Republic) is the second world cup and takes place next weekend. Jon and Bill fly out on Friday; women and children are holding down the fort.
I am loving the cheese and bread here and went to the baker this morning for fresh bread and later stopped by the cheese and sausage shop and bought some amazing cheeses and cured meats. The pride of quality is evident in the shops and it seems they would rather lose money than use inferior ingredients. Everyone wants to be able to say they have the best cheese/meat/bread in town and we benefit from the quality. In the US, merchants often strive to offer the biggest or the cheapest but the best... not so much.
