This week, the weather truly shifted out of my comfort zone. Fall had gotten an uncharacteristically late start here in Belgium, so my first month here was spent in dresses and even shorts. But a rainstorm brought in the cold weather, and now the daily highs have been only about 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Coming from California, I am running out of pants and sweaters to wear!
On a walk with my Belgian friend Sofie, I was able to see Belgian draft horses on small family farms near my University. These horses are chesnut-colored with a white mane, and were so sweet! When we walked up to the fence, they came right up to us, and we were even able to pet their manes!
