After saying goodbye to Richard and Pauline we retrieved our car and headed south to Lille and the MacDonald home in the city center.
Traffic was light, the roads smooth and with the help of our driving guide we found the underground parking garage recommended by Christina. Located in the city center — Dick and Dorothy you remember it well, I’m sure — we exited to the surface and called Christina. In a few moments she and Liam showed up and escorted us to their apartment. Fortunately the elevator was functioning and schlepping our bags up to the 3rd floor was no problem.
Glen and Kiera were there to welcome us and after we settled in we all sat around and relaxed, sharing travel adventures: the MacDs had just returned from Israel and of course us from the Netherlands.
That evening we had a delicious meal at L’estaminet de Gand on rue de Gand (Gand is the French word for Gent or Ghent, the city in Belgium). We had eaten at another place on the same street back in 2016 and the food was just as good this time.
It was a wonderful evening and we were tickled to be able to help celebrate Christina's birthday!
