We have birth certificates!

Still loving FedEx!  Thank you Tom Hanks.  Hope you have recovered from your time on the island.  Regina package arrived at 7:40 am and the Winnipeg package arrived at 9:40 am. 
Still not loving Ethiopian Airlines.  We feel we were wrongly denied boarding.  Although we did not have the required documentation for South Africa, we did have the required documentation for Ethiopia and could have flown there, spent our week, received our documents in Addis Ababa, and then been off again.  Disappointed to have lost the opportunity to visit Ethiopia.
Cindy went in to rebook our tickets for Thursday.  This required some good negotiations by Cindy, with Nate looking cute in the background, as the charge for changing flights is US $750 ($150 per ticket).  After much discussion, they changed the flights for free.  A well paid couple of hours.
We are hoping for a reduction in the paper work.  This has been busier than if we were at school.  Luke's backpack was damaged by Iceland Air, so we had paperwork with that as well.
Brussel's Grand Place
h that, the applying for birth certificates from the other side of the world, and other items.  This is way too much work!
In the afternoon we went out and enjoyed a pleasant day in Brussels, and today we are off to Bruge for the night.

  1. LOVE Bruge! The Flander's Field Museum is well worth it as WWI has very few museums! Enjoy!

  2. Sorry you didn't make it to Ethiopia. We moved our pin tracking your progress on our globe in the library back to Europe. I have always wanted to go to Bruges, for the balloon festival and to see the medieval architecture.
