i wish we all had balconies in the states. i feel most at home when i am just chillin on the balcony snacking on potato chips. life in athens is good. though five days is only a microcosm of life, i feel almost as if this is my normal life. i couldn’t have ended up…
today my tastebuds beheld the most delicious material they have ever known. so much so, that it merits its very own post.not only did i have gelato from the best place in all of athens (so says my greek host). but it was nutella gelato at that.imagine the creamiest and most wonderful thing you have…
being that i thought the factory-wrapped chocolate croissants sold at every little kiosk were good, i was in for a real treat when it came to the real thing. i’m currently sitting in a little cafe waiting to meet up with my new host. joseph and i stayed with some missionaries who went to texas…
Hello Everybody. Before reading this, you need to know three things: 1. This is Joseph. You know you’re a famous blogger when you have a guest blogger, so because Tahni is famous, or in attempt to make her so, here I am. 2. Just in case you don’t know, I’m in Greece too! 3. We’re…
dude, yes. i freaking love that city. it's so alive in a way that a lot of other major european cities just don't seem to be, somehow. it's got all this amazing history but it's still so… sigh. yes.

You know I am happy you got to see the Grand Place. I have been to Brussels 3 times and I think it is a wonderful city. Even though my colleague (Meghan) got us thrown out of a restaurant on the Place for refusing to eat the food that she "special ordered". It was her first ever trip to Europe and she learned that when in Rome…er, Brussels, do as the Belgians do (order from the menu, with no substitutions and EAT what you order)!
Belgium is a great country to visit because you can see great cities in Belgium and you are a reasonable train ride to Amsterdam to the north and Paris to the south. Head east and you are in Germany. Perhaps you and Jman can visit all of that part of Europe in the future.
I am sad that you did not get a Belgium waffle with INCREDIBLE chocolate!! I have failed you as a father by not directing you to a shop to have one. My first trip there I stayed at the Novatel Hotel just one block from the Grand Place and had those waffles for at least half my meals all around the town center!
Beautiful shot you took in the Place at night. Welcome home, may your memories of this trip never leave you.
Love,
Dad
mmmmm waffles….sorry, I got distracted there for a sec. Great photo and I am glad that you went for it!
