Belgium

So the Belgians love beer and chocolate and so do we! We actually start our day with a waffle usually, but beer and chocolate are not far behind. Throw in some flemish fries in there and you´ve got most of what we eat in a day.
Realized that I had kind of disappeared from the blog for a while there but we´ve just been chilling out and taking it easy. Meeting some nice people while we sit in parks and wander around small cities, preparing ourselves for the craziness that will be Paris really. After Italy, we were so tired and needed time to rest so we are currently resting before entering into the same kind of touristy, museumy atmosphere once again. Brussels and Bruges are both very beautiful places, but I have no idea what the art looks like (other than similar to that of the Netherlands...) but I know how much I LOVE gaufres de liege which are very thick and doughy and sweet. That´s pretty much it but I´m sure more will arise once we arrive in France.
Oh, I had wanted to mention how lovely it was to arrive in Brussels and suddenly understand the strange language everyone was speaking (French!), but as soon as we got to Bruges, they all speak Flemish. Although, they are taught English and French at school so we´re doing okay anyway :D
Aurevoir!
