Laundry... and Christmas Eve in Bel-hizzle

Our day started out with breakfast and massages today. The massages were a first for both Sean and I. Eventually we got going and went for a two hour ride with Ryan T showing us some roads. Then we came home to be greeted by Joe and Paul Sales. It was very nice to see some friends all the way over here.

So we moved onto doing our laundry at the local facility for this purpose. We were told to stay there and keep an eye on it. Below we have Sean's wonderful slippers as we lounge around. He picked these bad boys up for only four euros at the local clothing store named "Promo Fashion". We got a little bored while waiting for the clothing. So below I am inside a dryer. Check out that grill.
After our laundry ordeal we took the cruisers out on the town of Izegem. We were looking to find some cruiser posses, but I guess the kids go inside at night? Or maybe just on Christmas eve? Anyways we did manage to find our boy SantaC hanging out. So we chilled with him for awhile.
We had to rush home for dinner. Our house "mom" Els had prepared us a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner with all of the normal American foods. Sean managed at least five helpings of mashed potatoes. So now we are watching Christmas Vacation on TV. Last night they even had Home Alone 2. It is strange, the sound is in English, but they have subtitles for the locals. The Belgians really seem to embrace some of our American culture. Tomorrow will bring us Christmas overseas.

P.S. Don't worry, you haven't been replaced by the cat. We're still trying to get in in the dryer.
