Belgium

monday morning we left for belgium! i absolutely LOVE belgium. [at least where we went] it is so quaint and pretty and has really good french fries, waffles, AND chocolate.
anyways, they forced us to speak only french on the bus for the entire morning and i had to go up to the front of the bus and talk into the mircophone [which was actually really really fun b/c everyone paid attention to me] and i had to tell, in french, about my experiance of going to that huge cemetary.i accidentally said that i loved the crazyman... i meant to say i loved the experiance hahaha. i slept a lot on rochelle and had wierd dreams and drooled. and the lush countryside rolled on by..... la la la so beautiful.
we stopped at this adorable little town with a catherdral and got out and went inside of it and learnt alll about everything about it and it was all really cool info. Brother Welch knows freaking everything about everything! on the front walls there were scenes depicting vices and virtues.... they were funny. the inside was gorgeous and we were allowed to take pictures so of course i did. my favorite part was that when the sun shone [it didnt shine very often so i had to wait for long periods of time in my secret spot][it wasnt really that secret. at all actually] it would light up this pillar and it looked like it had been tie-dyed! it was soooooooo cool. theres also some sad pouty angel that would get dyed too and that was funny.
for lunch i got a bread+butter+cheese sandwich and it was perfect.
we got on the bus and i slept more and when i woke up i thought i had died and gone to heaven.... sort of. hahah thats b/c when we got off tthe bus we walked over to a CHOCOLATE MUSEUM. we had to follow the chocolate fairy throughout the museum! i loved it. they had lots of artifacts from the aztecs and i toook a pcture of the secret recipie and got some free samples. good stuff. and they had all these statuues and artworks and a cross-section of some part of the humanbody or something [thought of mary kate] made out of chocolate!! cooooool it all smelled so yummy.
the town was basically made up of chocolate shops and lace shops. i could totally deal with that.
we walked past this BalloonMan who looked crazy if you ask me but for some reason we stopped and talked to him and he was funny and told a joke about jehovah witnesses and knock-knock jokes and it was really funny, espeically b/c we were all mormon and the joke totally applied to mormons too and he didnt realize that.
anyways then we went to dinner and i ate french fries and hot chocolate and the restaurant had a self-disinfection-rotating toliet seat. fancy. except not really. just strange. but a good idea i guess. anyways rochelle got a waffles and didnt use all of her chocolate sauce on it and so there was lots of extra in a cute little wateringcan-type-pouring-thing and so i ate it all with a spoon and it made me insanely hyper. like insanely hyper. and so i was in a goodmood and happy and walked around the town for a long time and we looked at this romantic bridge in the dark and it was lovely and then went to the hotel and laid on jackie and summers bed with rochelle and giggled for a really long time and then went to sleep.
