Sundays are salad nights here in Leuven. Grocery stores (along with all the other stores) shut down here on Sunday, so we stock up on Friday since we are traveling to meets on Saturday. Tonight's meal is pretty straight forward - spinach salads with whatever you want. I will list some of the things that I like, as well as some of the things we picked up here.

We have been out of Leuven for the past three days, competing in a meet in Oordegem. We stayed in the dorms they have on site, and had an awesome opportunity to meet athletes from all over. We have new friends from Ireland, Nottingham (England), and Israel. The team did well, though we didn't place individually.
Roel joined us for the meet on Saturday, bringing our poles since we couldn't bring them on the train. Then, he surprised our team with a guided tour of southern Belgium, and even a little bit of France. We got back late to the hostel around 10.30pm with dinner at 11. We haven't been in Belgium for a week and we're already turning into Europeans.
Well, I'm pretty exhausted, and I want to go to bed so I can climb tomorrow at an indoor rock gym before lunch and teamtime. Please pray for all of our new international friends, both new and old. Please pray that we can continue to build relationships and have some awesome conversations.
Sounds like an amazing trip so far!!! I am praying for y'all!
