Arrival Day

So, I arrive in Belgium at 7:00 am local time, exhausted, and unable to check in until noon!  Enter Jan:  VECO Strategy Director, passionate about small holder farmers, sustainable agriculture, and ex-history teacher, who, undaunted by my sleepiness, takes me on an amazing walking tour of Leuven, complete with history lesson!  The city was founded in 891 AD and is truly a perfect example of European medieval town construction.  It is breathtaking.  And I will likely retain more of its impressive history after a nap! :)

Jan Wyckaert: VECO Director, airport driver, brilliant tour guide and new friend!
