Pardon My French: Belgian Waffels

Hellloooo peeps,

I hope everyone has had a fabulous weekend!:) I know I have!

Okay to begin I must give a little back ground! This weekend was spent traveling because my host parents had planned a trip to go see my other host sister Olivia. She is in school up in Valenciennes which is right next to Belgium. Her and some friends got a house up there and so we brought up a ton of furniture and everything when we went! Okay so now that you know the reason for the traveling I shall tell the story of the actual event!:)

FRIDAY:

I skipped school friday because we left that day! We were originally going to take the car, but there was no way everything was going to fit! LOL! So my host parents went and rented a van (it was basically a moving truck):)! The drive took about 8 hrs and it was actually pretty fun because we all had to sit in the front of the van, in a back seat type seating arrangement, with me in the middle! hahaha! On the way there I took 3 naps and slept on Renata! LOL! I swear I have a gift for sleeping in vehicles! I just couldn't stay awake! We arrived at almost 11 and then had dinner and unloaded the truck! Safe to say it was a late night! But a fun one!

SATURDAY:

Saturday Olivia and her friends had class, so I woke up early and made them a "Texas breakfast"! LOL! It was breakfast tacos! Except these were serious breakfast tacos, they had eggs, bacon, french cheese and beans! OMG it was so good! I want one just writing this! <3 Then after they all got back from class we unloaded the rest of the truck and arranged all the furniture and stuff! It looked very nice, for student housing, once we were finished! Hahaha!:) Then Olivia, Renata, Wojtek and I all went to Bruxessels. Which is in Belgium for those of you who may not of known that! It was soooo fun, we walked all around this huge shopping area and ate belgian waffles and moules and frits (mussels and fries). Sadly I didn't get to do any shopping because on the weekends in France everything closes super early! We ate dinner at this cute little italian restaurant and sat outside, so we were right on the cobble stone street! We shared steamed moule and frits and a pizza, then we had expresso for "dessert"!:) It was all very very yummy! The city was beautiful at night and later in my pics you will get to see "Grande centre" by day and then by night! We then headed home and went to sleep because it was very late by then!:)

SUNDAY:

We packed up and drove home sunday and it was not a very pretty drive because it was raining the whole way! But I didn't mind because I absolutely adore the rain! It rains a lot here!:) Surprisingly I never really went to sleep, I just dosed from time to time! It didn't take us quite as long on the way home only like 7hrs! Once we were home Renata made this really yummy Spanish dish with rice, peas, peppers, octopus, mussels, shrimp and chicken! Then I took a shower, attempted to do my homework and now I am writing this blog post to all of you!:)

The description of Belgium was very lame and does not do a good job of showing how much fun it was! But I think the pictures do a good job, so it will be okay!:)

(SIDE NOTE: Isador is currently asleep next to my bed on my carpet! He is so cute!<3)

PICTURE TIME!

YESSSSSSSS!

There are about a million! Hahaha!
