All good things come to an end, and it's time to go back home. Leaving with Gent in my heart, though: such an amazing gem!
All the stunning churches, buildings, canals and bridges make for a rather photogenic city, although I do want to see these photos on a big screen, since some look great on a smartphone screen but then you see them on a big screen... and off to the recycle bin!
Crossing fingers for some good photos, because I do want to make a decent post about this city. And in the meanwhile, I'm sharing some of the little pearls, while soaking all that happened this week: having spent the week with some of the best in the world on this area of my work does humble you. It's also a huge incentive to keep learning and growing. And how great it is to learn in places like this?
There are worse places to listen to lectures, right?
More things that happened this week: I ate more gauffres than probably in the last 5 years! 🤣 But man, they were good: plain, with chocolate, with maple syrup, I've tried them all.

Yep, I do drink beer occasionally, but can't say I'm a beer fan. Nevertheless, I've tried this Kriek, and fell in love with it. I think I had it everyday! Crossing fingers that it finds its way to Portugal... or maybe we have it and I don't know yet?
More things that I've learned: belgians know how to throw a party! The congress dinner was superbly organized, in order to make us mingle and meet more people... and let's just say, there might have been a little to much alcohol involved.
And they also have a good sense of humour: this is likely the best advertising sign I've seen in a long time! 😁
You can see why this was an awesome week, right? Meeting a new country, and amazing people, with all these little details in between: bliss. And as usual, before leaving, sending some love to friends back home, hoping these reach their destination:
It's been a ton of fun, but as the title says, it's time to wrap it up. See you soon, Portugal!
