Re-entry.

     One the most important links with any of my bicycle trips is having a staging area both coming and going. Meielle Nichols took me in, outside of Brussels, and treated me as only one would treat a god. It was wonderful. Not only could I assemble and disassemble my bike with plenty of room and security, we dined in style both upon my arrival and departure. As though I were long lost family, she cooked up a veritable feast for me on a daily basis with white wine starting at noon. Her two children, Avril and Alec, put me in the uncle role which I thoroughly enjoyed.  Monopoly(in French), Trivial Pursuit and a video tennis game.  Mielle gave me door to door treatment to the airport.  Needless to say, I hope I can return the favor. Now it is off to Boston and home.  And for my next act.....!
