Belgium!

I had a great time in Brussels! We took a few trains to get there and when we arrived we had reservations to stay at someone's apartment through the website called AirBnB. It was the first time we had all tried the website so we did not know what to expect. We walked through the town and our apartment ending up being so central and perfect location!! 

View from the window of our apartment!

Walking the streets! 

WE FOUND BELGIUM WAFFLES!!  Riley lived here for 9 years so he said this was the best place! 

MY WAFFLE!! With strawberries, chocolate sauce and powdered sugar! 

The famous "Mankekin Piss" statue!

Part of city center, it is SO beautiful! The official name is Grand Place! 

Another building in the center! 

We found roof access on our apartment and went up there at the end of the night! 

We had waffles for dinner and then met some of Riley's friends from high school at Delium Brewery. After we went back to the square when it was dark and all the lights were on, ate French fries and met some kids from London and Germany. Overall I really enjoyed Brussels!! 

We left in the morning and had 4 connections on the train from Brussels to Paris. On our third changeover we arrived and the train we were supposed to get on didn't exist....so we raced around trying to find another one when we ran into 7 other students doing our same program that had the same problem. We realized we had to buy a ticket to Paris on a high speed train but got a discount because of our train passes we have. Anyways, that's where I am now!!
