Belgium, its only two hours across the entire country!
Where were we, oh yes, Day two...and this one is a hoot let me tell you. Dan and I jump a train to Brussels, but only after I have acted like a Neaderthal and grunted at the...get this...sandwichiere shop lady, for a damn club sandwich. Apparently it was at this point in my trip where I decided that I would let Dan order for me and I would just hand over the cash. Eating my sandwich, being stared at, and walking all at the same time is difficult for a kid who can't talk on the phone and watch TV...trust me its one or the other...so if I am talking to you, you better listen for the TV, because if it is on there is only one thing I am paying attention to....
So off to Brussels we are, on the train enjoying my second, rather short train ride in Belgium, thinking man these train systems are good! (Get a sense of foreboding?) Anyway we are off at Brussels, the central station wander around, we were both hungry so after doing a little sight-seeing we stop at this pita shop, and an ice cream place, and a frites place...I said we were hungry! By the way I wanna give a shout out to the owners of PITA PITA, you make one hell of a Pita Formage! Here are a few places that I would totally recommend seeing in Brussels...The Grand Place, the King's Palace, the Old English house, and the L'Homo Erectus...yeah I said it...L'Homo Erectus This was one of the many gay bars that call Brussels their home, however...apparently "lesbians don't exist" in Brussels. Dan and I laughed, the guy wanted us to come into a strip show, I think he just wanted Dan to show off his Euro chic body! We settled for a nice Irish pub. On our way home, Dan bought a scarf. We made it to the train station at like 9:30 only to find our train leaving late to Liege, we decided to head home. Now let me preface this by saying that Belgium is only 250 miles long, about two hours across the entire country. Liege to Brussels is about a 45 minute drive. It took us from Brussels to Liege about 2hours and 30 minutes...why you may ask, well apparently our train decided that I should see the whole of Belgium...it looks like Iowa. I have seen it trust me.
Back in Liege, the buses were done running for the night, and to be nice, Dan hailed a cab, so I wouldn't have to hoof it up a mountain in my heels...wait who am I kidding...I don't wear heels! So remember that bus stop that Dan found me at earlier in the day...we stopped there, because the cabbie was costing us an arm and a leg. So as we stop, the door opens and some random dude, jumps in the car, and asks if he could be taken somewhere. Dan looked back at me as if to say, "Terri did you make a friend?" and I looked back thinking, "Man I have so seen this on Worst Case Scenarios...all I have to do is punch him in the nose...wait that was if a shark attacks...Damn it what do I do in Belgium if a random guy gets into my cab, oh yeah I forgot...I am twice his size I could totally kick his ass!" Well that was day two, again I hope it is staying interesting, at least I am having fun, so the rest of you can just get bent!
