Parents

This week started off with my History final exam. It went pretty well. I had quite a lot to say. Work was really slow this week. On Tuesday I went to a Budgetary committee meeting and on Wednesday I organized boxes and attended another meeting finalizing the ice hokey exhibition plans. After work on Wednesday I went out to dinner with my parents who were in Brussels visiting. Since we had off Thursday I went out on Wednesday night and had a blast. Thursday I met up with my parents and we went out to a Thai place. It was some of the best Thai I have ever had, and it is some of my favorite cuisine so I really enjoyed the meal. Friday my parents came to Leuven and I showed them around. Saturday we went to Brugge together. What a town. It is like someone froze time 600 years ago. We took a canal tour and a horse drawn carriage tour. We went to a gallery that had a Dali exhibit which was fascinating. There were no finished works it was all sculptures and sketches. There were many things I have never seen from my favorite artist. After that the week was all down hill. On saturday night on my way home from the bar, I stopped to talk to these two guys. They approached me speaking Spanish and since I love practicing mi Espanol so I was all for talking to them. However this proved to be disastrous. I'm not 100% sure but I had my wallet 5 minutes before talking to them and didn't 5 minutes after talking to them. So all signs point to them pickpocketing me. I had a large amount of money in the wallet and I am in a little bit of a jam now that I have no way of getting any of my credit cards sent here on time. To top it all off I left my passport at my parents hotel and had to go to Brussels to pick it up today. When it rains it pours.
