The familiar (and not so...) by Tracy
We first came to live in Brussels 16 years ago and spent three years here. This is where both Claudia and Riley were born. There were a lot of emotions here as we adjusted to life as expats, and started our little family. The past two days we have been struck by how much we remember - the smells, the sounds, places we knew well, tastes, brands, traffic and the general flow of life. We've also realised that some things have changed and even simple things like the route from our old house to the supermarket we have forgotten... Thank goodness for "Lola" our GPS who now speaks very patiently in English. Today we also got to reconnect with some special friends and were reminded how simple and easy old friendships can be. It really did feel like the years melted away and we had a great relaxed day.
