The plan was for the family to take a boat trip down the river to Liege in Belgium but apparently making a 10am departure was a bit too aggressive for that group - so that was postponed to Thursday. They are likely relieved that I am not there driving everybody onto the next activity and can go at a leisurely pace.
I had never rented a car here in all my previous trips, preferring to rely on the trains and taxis. So when I needed to fill up the tank this morning there is a learning curve on that process works. There was no pay at the pump option - so not clear if I should pay first or can pay later. Pretty sure I don't want diesel fuel but what the heck is Euro95. Eventually figured it out and was on my way to work. There is almost no traffic between Maastricht and Aachen - so it is a pleasant commute.
Decided to grab a burger for dinner but there was a sign on the front of the restaurant declaring they were on vacation for two weeks....got to love Europe. On the walk home we stopped for gelato - a nightly tradition.
Back at our apartment we taught the kids to play Hearts after refreshing my memory on the rules by watching some YouTube videos. The folks that make YouTube videos on card games is an interesting crowd.
