After a Labor Day in New York with friends, I boarded a plane bound for Atlanta, then for Belgium. I was going to do some work about an hour south of Brussels.
I arrived Wednesday morning early. My colleague was expected in about an hour after me. I cleared customs and waited for him to arrive. Once we got in and settled, we had a quiet, relaxing day.
We went to work Thursday and finished almost everything we had planned. There were a few loose ends that would have to be tied up, but we pretty much finished our major work Thursday.
Friday we finished work around noon. I was scheduled to go home Sunday. We headed to Brugge, about 90 minutes from our location. We spent the afternoon walking through Brugge, enjoying the sights. We didn't make it to the coast or to Flander's Field.
Saturday we had a complete day to do whatever we wanted. So we headed to Paris, which was about 3 hours by car. We arrived at de Gaulle airport around 10, hopped on a train, and was downtown by 11. We started at the Notre Dame, then walked up the Champs-Elysses to the Arc de Triomphe. Next stop was the Eiffel Tower. We decided to not go to the top due to time. After lunch we walked back to the Notre Dame to get back on our train to de Gaulle and head home.
We had a great trip. Work was a success and we had a chance to spend a little time sightseeing. I'll definitely go back at some point to see Paris again.
