Europe-Days 3,4,and 5

Day 3

We relaxed!!! Chris and Londie helped with a friend's proposal all day so Matt and I just hung out in the apartment and watched movies and such. It was a good day to help me continue adjusting to the time change too.

This is pretty much where we were all day...on the couch watching movies
For dinner, Matt and I went to the grocery store and bought some food to make dinner. We made a chicken teriyaki stir fry kinda thing with garlic toast. It was soooo good!!!!



Here is me and Chris...we took about 6 or 7 pics looking very similar to this one


Day 4

We traveled to our next stop and the place Matt stayed all summer...Jurbise, Belgium

This is the train schedule that I have now learned to read...

And here is the train that we took!

Once we got there, we stopped at the house Matt lived at all summer and hung out with that family for awhile. We also watched a movie. Then I got to see what Club Beyond was all about...so we hung out with middle school and high school kids for a few hours. After Club, we went to the house we are staying at for most of the rest of our stay here...the Kolver family!

They have 4 kids, Casey (11), Bryason (7), Jenna (3), Elysia (8 mos)...here is Jenna and Elysia...aren't they adorable?!!?!?

Day 5

We visited Mons, Belgium!!

waiting for the ever popular train to arrive

This was our lunch...they are called durums. Since we can't speak french and the people in the restaurant we wanted food from didn't speak english, we had a difficult time telling them what we wanted. We ended up with these things...shredded meat and stuff in a tortilla type wrap...which were super tasty :)

This is what the town looks like
Here is the Gran Plaz of Mons

And this is the famous little monkey statue in Mons...apparently when you rub his head, you have good luck/fertility, hahaha

This is the cathedral
And me singing with the statues :)

This is the front of a church/building for university classes

On the way to Mons, we didn't have a chance to buy our ticket when hopping from one train to the next so we were just going to buy it on the train (which you can do) but the conductor was apparently upset at us or something because we didn't tell him we needed tickets on the train, so he charged us a fine!!! But on the way home, we got our tickets on the train and this conductor was nice and let us buy our tickets like we should have been able to do before. It was a happy end to a fun day!!
