merry belated christmas post dos

sorry about the delay of posts, either there's no internet, can't connect, or it costs a lotta euros for 30 minutes. spent xmas in brugge with morgan, then took him back. went drinkin xmas eve with morgan, it was an experience. euros smoke so much u suffocate in doors. que lata! then we went to hofstade for the world cup. it was crazy. so many people, 15 k i guess. but its pathetic, they only cheer for nys in the mens race. the womens race, with the presence of the world champion, it was dead silent. our nationals was louder than the womens race. vervecken won and they had a big jumbotron u could sse the live tv feed on so u could see the whole race from one spot. got stuck in a huge traffic jam getting out of the parking lot. treefarm had a great start making the front lead group. it was really sandy on the beach and the crowd was huge. lined the entire course. now were at the house again, cuz its theonly place i've gotten online. loenhout is tomorow, should be good. keep reading, i'll post when i can.
