No, unfortunately no time for Antwerp...but we will be spending a day in Brussels...and I desperately want to go to Waterloo...

***Earniel*** · 03-30-2008, 05:02 PM

Waterloo... to see the lion, I take it? I can't think from the top of my head of anything else interesting there to see.

Curufin · 03-30-2008, 05:05 PM

Well, truth be told, I'm a bit of a Napoleonic wars/History junkie, and I'll probably be standing here telling my group how Cavalry Regiment so and so was placed in formation here...blah blah blah...

I love battlefields. I've been to every single American Civil War one.

Start on the Revolutionary ones then. Then War of 1812.

Curufin · 03-30-2008, 06:18 PM

I've been to Lexington and Concord, so I guess I have a start on that. But it's rather hard to do from Europe.

sisterandcousinandaunt · 03-30-2008, 06:20 PM

THIS is my not impressed rolleyes expression, smarty pantses.

You've already said you'll be back soon. Picked a grad school?

Curufin · 03-30-2008, 06:33 PM

I've been looking into schools for my PhD program, yes. I'm looking at Queen's University in Belfast, The London School of Economics, and Indiana University. I'll go to whichever one offers me the best funding package.

But for now, I'm off to bed - I'm utterly exhausted from a day of travel!

*stretches a bit and relaxes back with a beer*

Meh...Cleaning the backyard and gardening were perhaps not the best of choices, but at least everything looks pretty.

Including you, I'm sure.

The last sane person · 03-30-2008, 06:49 PM

No, I still look more or less like hell.

Hell with a backache.

But the backyard and the front look absolutly spiffing, if I do say so myself.

Oh, you'll get more out of it than ordinary visitors then, I reckon.

Thain Peregrin Took I · 03-30-2008, 07:26 PM

Darn you all and your travel-ness!

I've never been outside the U.S., and in the U.S. I've only been to a few of the mainland states. I really want to travel when I get older.

Curufin · 03-31-2008, 02:08 AM

Morning, all!

Getting ready for a day full of lectures today...they look interesting if I can get a cup of tea in me and wake up a bit...

Curufin · 03-31-2008, 07:29 AM

Just had lunch after a lecture on EU bureaucracy and one on lobbying the EU...I suppose it'll get us all ready for our trip to Brussels on Thursday...

sisterandcousinandaunt · 03-31-2008, 08:56 AM

What are you trying to get from the EU?

Snicker is yummy... but no, I'm on a diet. Or I'm supposed to be anyhow... Anyone want a cinnamon finger?
