Vacation, Day 3-Just hanging out.


Poes Kafe
  Jet lag hits!  we slept in this morning until after 10am, then spent a couple of hours exploring the shops around our apartment. 

After a late lunch we walked to the train station to take the train to Saint Niklaas, where Dave works.  He took us to meet some of the people he works with, then we drove around Saint Niklaas just to see the town.  We stopped at a very nice coffee shop, Poes Kafe, to have cappuccino and hot chocolate.  Later we went to dinner with a co-worker.  The girls very quickly made friends with his 11 year old daughter, Famke.  They are exchanging email addresses and hope to keep in touch.

After dinner we drove back to Antwerp and since it
wasn't quite dark yet, we went by Grote Market.

And now hopefully we will sleep during the night and get
up at a decent hour tomorrow!
