We are having fun already in Brussels! We just checked into our hostel and were happy to find that we have free internet here, so I decided to write another entry.
When we first came to check-in the hostel was closed. We were really upset because they didn't open for another 2 hours. Hannah and I definitely didn't want to carry our heavy packs around the city. Luckily, a guy let us in and we put our bags in the luggage room till we could check-in. Then we went in search for the famous, or should I say infamous, Mannekan Pis.
We found the Mannekan Pis eventually. For those that don't know what this is, it is a tiny one and half foot statue of a little boy peeing. It is absolutely rediculous, I guess that's why it's so famous. We took a lot of pictures in front of it and Hannah had the wonderful idea of framing one of the pictures and placing it in a fancy frame above the toilet.
Then the best thing happened. We decided to try our first Brussels waffle. It was complete HEAVEN in my mouth. In fact, it was so... good that we ended up getting another right afterward! The waffle was hot and square and had carmelized sugar on it! So good, it's worth coming to Brussels just for the waffles!
Tomorrow, we plan on just walking around the city and checking out some random churches and the palace park. Who knows, we may even have another waffle!

Did you have any chocolates?
Mom and I visited the Mannekin Pis, too.
Hey Em!!!
Those waffles sound heavenly! My mouth was watering when I was just reading the description of it. Ha! That statue sounds, well, weird, but funny at the same time!
I can't wait until we go to France && Italy! I bet there will be tons of amazing deserts & fabulous patries for braekfast!
Guess what! Today I went to the new coke world! It was really cool. There are a bunch of new stuff. There were the torches from the olimpics and the couch from American Idol season 4 which we got to sit on! There were two new movies and get this... Every visitor gets a free bottle of coke right off of the assembly line!!! How cool is that! I went W/the Hardy's and Caroline Gordon. For lunch we ate at Ikea and I bought a bag of those Diam Crunch candies! It was a ton of fun.
I have some bad news which you may have already heard, but brace yourself just in case you haven't heard it yet... SEXY DIED!!!! :(
I know, sad, isn't it. Mom just was looking in the bowl when she saw poor Sexy just floating on top of the water. But don't worry we gave her a proper burial down the tiolet!
I love you and miss you! See you soon. XOXO
