Today we got off around 8ish to head into Belgium. Our group is really slow, so they were mostly late getting down to load the bus. After about a four hour drive, we arrived in Brussels, the capital of Belgium and the head of the European Union. On a more yummier note, they are known for their French fries and Belgium waffles. Lunch was a Belgium waffle, with ice cream and chocolate sauce. It was good, but the waffles weren’t as fluffy and soft as we are used to. Our first stop of the afternoon was a local chocolatier, where we learned how they made chocolates and tasted some of the amazing pieces they made. The afternoon gave us time to see the city and visit the Manneken-Pis, a statue of a young boy peeing. Interestingly enough, he has various costumes which are changed throughout the year. Today he was dressed for soccer. The French fries we snacked on were amazing and had more than 15 different sauces to choose from. Needing a little taste of something from home, we found a great tex-mex restaurant for some chips and salsa. We are turning in early tonight because we still haven’t caught up from London and Paris and tomorrow it is off to Germany.
