brussels.

We are back in Belgium!

As mentioned before we are here in Antwerp and today we visited Brussels. Brussels is a large city that we had LITTLE time to explore. Belgium is underrated and has been one of my favorite places we have visited. 

First we headed to the Atomium, which is a huge replica of an Atom that was made for the World Fair in 1958. We didn't spend much time there, really only to get a picture and head to Brussels.

oh and they had letters welcoming you to Belgium, and naturally we had to get a picture with them because we love letters. (amsterdam anyone?) ps. I always think of she's the man when the principle welcomes viola to Illyria.

We got to the big city of Brussels and went to yet again another museum. This one was way weird to me, it was Rene Magritte the surrealist...not digging his style. After we just explored the city a bit more.

Plus I found a hidden gem in the square...JAIME OLIVER. He must have been filming a tv show or something like that. Don't worry I captured him in a few pictures. Oh and when I found out who it was I shouted "It's Jaime Oliver!" then a lady totally turned around and just stared me and put her finger to her lips...yep I'm that dumb American who spoke louder than a whisper...oh well.

Tomorrow we are going to London. I am SO EXCITED! So there will be more adventures and  great fun to come. Ps. I figured out what I'm doing to Thanksgiving break, drumroll please...

Italy and Spain.
Rome and Madrid to be exact. 

So stick with me for some exciting adventures.

  1. It is so inspiring to hear and see your experiences! I'm so glad that you are willing to go into new places and meet new friends. We love living vicariously through your reports.

    So funny, I saw several of your high school friends on campus in the last two days: Lisa Love, Aimee Burton, and Kristen Mella (Hamblin). They were all WAY jealous that you were in Europe!
