Hi loyal followers!

How are you all? Good I do hope! =)

Well we spent the weekend in Belgium which was AMAZING. I don't think I've eaten so much in my life but we only had 3 days to eat everything we wanted to so we sure tried our best to eat as much as we could!

We stayed not far from the Grand Place and just wandered around for the few days that we had, we went to the city museum which was cool, went shopping, went to a costume museum, had a look in a few churche...saw some of Manneken-Pis's costumes which was pretty awesome. Speaking of Manneken-Pis -- on the Saturday they dressed him up to honour St. Christopher and had him pee beer! how cool is that! For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, Manneken-Pis is the town statue of Brussels and its a little boy peeing, some of you Americans might find this a little odd so here is a link to read more about him http://www.manneken-pis.com/mainen.html

But we drank beer, ate waffles, chocolate, chips and mayo, bread, croissants, pastries, ummm lollies and biscuits and anything else that took our fancy!! It was really great to be back there, it was almost like going home.

Hope alls well, lots of love
xoxo

Here is Meish and I on the Grand Place...

Manneken Pis peeing beer in celebration of St. Christopher!! Before he started peeing beer they sang the Manneken Pis song!!

Meish and Sara having a beer...if your wondering why Sara's beer is smaller than Meish's it's because she had the sampler platter which consisted of five of those little ones!!! haha...

Hey Jess,
I was thinking about you today!!! You must have been eating in memory of me hey? I'd love to do the travelling, but unfortunatly would not be able to eat all of those yummy things :(
So... next time you eat something that has a ton of cream, that is super sweet... and that is just delicious, think of how I can't eat it. Haha.
Anyways, love the pics, maybe you could show some of the churches? I'd love to see some architectual ones :)
Miss ya tons, and can't wait to chat :)


Thanks for the beer picture. It looked so onely sitting there, but I'm sure you did me proud and drank it too! What kind was it?

Love as always
