Dec 16 - Genk, Belgium

Slept late and had breakfast of bread and butter, salami, cheese and coffee. Went to Marc's house next door for lunch. His brother is 13 and aspires to attend the Scout Jamboree in Japan in 1971. I showed the family my patches, souvenirs and uniform. About 3 pm, Marc, his brother, father and I drove into Mastricht, Holland. We parked the car and strolled through the festive shopping area, listening to an old fashioned traveling mechanical band and eating ice cream.

Returned to Genk after dark in the rain. We stopped at a friend's house so Marc could show off his foreign visitor. Had dinner and an enjoyable evening with Atillio's family of seven youngsters and parents.
