_Back in the USSR_, My Apologies to the Beatles and to Russia!

Sheremetyevo Airport

Not sure what this sign means, I jokingly told R it meant "No Transformers"

We had a smooth flight, no challenges leaving Belgium or entering Russia.  R, the driver, picked us up at the airport and brought us to our apartment, then took D and her son W home to their apartment.  Y, the nanny, left and I gave the children their postcards and pencils from Belgium.  We looked at the pictures I took in Belgium and headed to bed.  R will be home Thursday night.

Dinner at Potiron in Kasterlee Belgium





We had pork, as appetizer and main course, from one of the farms that R, A and the pharma reps visited for dinner.  It was delicious, as was the dessert!  And after the dessert came the coffee, tea and candies.  We ate outside on the deck on another delightfully warm evening.  

Chocolate

R, A and the pharma reps visited an upscale grocery today and he brought me home some chocolate, yum!

Belgium Fries



and yes, I had mine with mayonnaise, D had the ketchup.  

Walking Back to our Taxi

Can you get macaroons at your McDonalds?

The Man of Steel is headed to Belgium, too.

Free Drinking Water, It did not appear to be a spring but rather the municipal water supply.
