Last night we held our Belgium-themed farewell party. We had waffles, fries with mayonnaise, chocolate cupcakes, and fourteen different types of Belgian beer. Many of our friends from Seattle were able to join us, and our tiny house was filled with noise and conversation. So many people came up to me during the night, telling me how sad that they were that we were leaving, and how much they will miss us. I have made so many wonderful friends over the past twenty months, and it will be strange leaving them all behind. I made sure to tell them that there will be a spare room waiting for them in Brussels if they come to visit.
We have four more weeks of work, and then we are leaving the USA. Work is so busy that I rarely have time to contemplate this fact. My time as a US resident and researcher at the bench is coming to an end.

Have a wonderful time Lydia! There’s a thriving expat community in Belgium. Fingers crossed they’ll be a great support. I like the Belgian themed going away party. It’s giving me ideas…
