Claire's hosts

We spent several days visiting cities in Belgium and hanging out with the families that Claire lived with this past year. Everyone spoke French, except Pat and me. I understood hello, good-bye, bread, cheese and beer. The five most important words in the French speaking region of Belgium. Pictured below is Claire and Simon in masks from Venice, Italy. Simon is Claire's host brother this spring.
