This morning after I woke up, I had to finish packing. I slept in so that I could get a little caught up on sleep. I made lunch and then headed off to the train station. We met Steef and Dennis at 1:00 and took a train to Den Haag. We switched trains and were off to Brussels. We arrived a little late since a train before ours had some problems. When we arrived in Brussels we walked to our hostel and checked in. We were given an hour to relax and get settled in to the room. Joel, Kyler, and I shared a room. It was almost like a hotel room. We had our own bathroom and we each had our own bed. We even had a TV with a channel in English.
We met Steef and Dennis and went on a city tour. Steef was very knowledgeable about the sites. We saw the Grote Market which is a large square with many very fancy buildings. We then went to see one of the most visited sites in Brussels, Manneken Pis. This fountain is a little boy peeing. When the feminist movement went through, a female version, Jeanneke Pis, was created. We also went to visit this site.
By this time it was time for dinner. We went to a Pizza Place. I ordered a vegetable pizza which had olives, peppers, and onions. It also had artichokes but I did not eat those. After dinner, we continued our city tour. We went to the Grote Market to see it at night. We also went to the Cathedral to see it at night. Steef and Dennis then took us to a bar that had 2004 different types of beer. After this I went to bed and Kyler and Joel stayed out.
One of my hostels on spring break also had a TV. One of the few things on in English was Law and Order, so we watched a few episodes. :)
