Today is Margaret's 64th birthday! We have been out and about looking at presents, dessert items, candles, and suitable restaurants. Bill and I found a restaurant called Oud Brugge and have 6:30 dinner reservations.
Axel delights people here in the same fashion as in the US, drawing kind looks and happy faces from some unlikely sources. He likes to eat the waffles, as does Leah though she has her's topped with caramel. Yesterday we ate frites with a side of about a 1/2 cup of Mayonnaise. The frites are amazing, the Friterie has piles of freshly julienned potatoes on a large angled shelf above the fryers. When you order they sizzle them up to a crispy golder color and then sprinkle with salt. The frites are served with these cute little plastic skewers and they are delicious. There are other sauces besides Mayonnaise that I should try but they are difficult to pronounce. The people in Brugge probably do not eat this stuff often - they would all be fat.
Jon and I bought a sim card this morning for his cell phone. The new card makes his phone speak Dutch. Hmmm. Maybe it will make him speak Dutch?
