You may have seen these two famous actors in this short film they produced. Turns out they live in Leuven. Stop one of the big 3C birthday extravaganza was centered at their house.
We spent a fair amount of time wandering around town.
Leuven has its share of students (and they returned to class just after we got into town).
It rained. Like crazy. We walked 13.5km anywway.
The city wall.
Yo on a bridge with a god sighting…
The crocuses in full swing and filled with bees.
They are concerned about another Eve in Leuven.
We also had some excellent meals with our hosts.

After about three weeks of conditions too slippery and dangerous for a walk by the river, the Shenandoah finally started to thaw.

The racists bastards running our country at the moment did not understand a word of the Superbowl Halftime show that bad bunny put on.
Watch it here (the NFL piggies will not allow a local copy)

Fortunately we were able to snag a viewing when we invited ourselves over for a fabulous Puerto Rican feast hosted by Harold and Jen. I mean, pernil, arroz con gandules, and mofongo?! What’s not to like.
We brought along beer cheese and Generals Orders.
Oh, and those of you sent into a tizzy about the Latino aspects of American culture? You can fuck right off.

There is a hidden gem of a musuem in DC that is often overlooked by tourists and locals alike—the national portrait gallery. We recently paid a visit with Cyn and Eli. Eli was in town for a robot shindig of sorts.
.
The inner courtyard is amazing (and smells like a jungle).
p.s. grandma moses was a hack
