The food made me quite sick last night and I spent the greater part of the night either sitting on the throne or embracing it. Quite a mess.  I&#8217;m finally feeling much better, but have quite a ways to go before I&#8217;m back to normal. These episodes don&#8217;t happen very often, but when they do it takes quite a toll on my body.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, everything I had planned to do today went by the board. I slept on and off until 3 this afternoon. About 4 I went outside and drove 30 kilometers to Kotrijk. The main reason was to find a wifi Hotspot and get connected. The McDonalds at the Expo turned out not to have a hotspot, yet. It was installed but wouldn&#8217;t be in their cash register until Monday. Next door was a bar \/ restaurant that advertised on a sign in the window being able to surf the internet. They do indeed have the capability, but it also very new. I&#8217;m the first customer to make use of the capability. I&#8217;ve bought 60 minutes of time and have ordered a cup of hot chocolate. I don&#8217;t feel like eating anything, but the hot chocolate sounded benign enough. Perhaps by tomorrow my system will have recovered enough for me to want to eat something. I&#8217;ll probably feel like I&#8217;ve been starved!<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow I also check out of the hotel in Ourdenaarde and move to Gent for two nights. My new boss arrives here on Monday and I&#8217;ll meet her for dinner in Gent on Monday evening and then show her how to get to the office in Ourdenaarde on Tuesday morning. Tuesday night I move to the Holiday Inn at the Brussels Airport and will fly back to Salt Lake City on Wednesday. The trip is coming to a close. Today I feel crappy enough that it&#8217;s a good thing the trip is ending.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chinese restaurant from last night has been scratched from my list.
