"To journey without being changed is to be a nomad.

To change without journeying is to be a chameleon.

To journey and to be transformed by the journey is to be a pilgrim." -Mark Nepo

In Brussels: Just Like a Pittsburgh Neighborhood

A neighborhood in Brussels, Belgium

We got a little lost driving home from Brussels.  Our navigational system blacked out for a few minutes which makes driving in a foreign city very difficult.  We unintentionally ended up taking some side streets and going through a neighborhood.  I thought it was a serendipitous event.  We were surprised at how much the area resembled Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the closest city to where my husband and I grew up.  There were even some signs for American products.  At times it looked like we were driving through Bloomfield instead of Brussels.

    I am hooked! How come I didn't know about this sooner? Just finished reading all your posts - great way to start a Saturday after a sleepless night. Getting a vicarious thrill alternating with laughter, smiles and tears of joy. Thank you!
