Days 2, 3

July 9,

Slept until 10:30 am and took the 11:46 to BC. Checked email and got started on writing for the IF project. Met Els DeClercq, development, project connections staff. Heavy rain shower at 2 pm. Took time to write up notes from SBA.

When I got to Z I went to the city park and heard a blues band, Los Hombres Amplificato, playing to a mix of young and old. Pretty good stuff.

July 10 - Fridays are work at home day at IF and I decided to take most of the day for myself. Up early. A walk around town and then shopping at bakery, grocery and vege/fruit shop.

Walked uphill to the folklore museum and a park. A bit of rain and then down hill to the train station where I bought a train card for a month. Came back for lunch here and then watched the TDF – Spain and Andorra. And went to work on the project writing and reading. Tried with dinner: Kasteel Triple - yum!

Read materials from IF library, worked on project materials and read the EU disabilities directive and UN materials. Reviewed Weissbrodt's paper on Intl human rights law.

Hugo came over with mountain bike!

Quite light still at 9:10 pm, so I headed out on the town. Another concert at the Park - Die Gipfelfreunde, trio with lederhosen, braces, guitar, accordian, keyboards, sax. Polkas and “Something Crazy Like I Love You.”

Wandered about town some more and stopped downstairs at de Hellekapelle (Hell's chapel), punk rock sound track (Sex Pistols, etc.) so donw my alley. Tried the Andrean Brouwer Finest Dark, a relatively local brew. Lots of high mouth feel. Home at 10:35 – finally dark at 10:50.
