                                          A few days ago, Me and my family took a weekend-long trip to Belgium to watch a dirt-bike race called Motocross of Nations, well, at least my brother and my dad did. Mean while, my mom and I walked around and explored the town. It was really not all that warm there, in fact it was cold enough that my cheeks turned red, travelling from Naples to Eindhoven (Eindhoven airport) was like transferring to a completely different world. The air was crisp, there was hardly any people, it was peaceful, and had lots of trees and farmland. Whereas Naples is very crowded, hot, smoky and hazy in the city, crammed, noisy and very in-your-face. The hotel in Belgium was very grand and fancy, we got two rooms, one for my brother and I to share, and one for my Mom and Dad. both rooms were fairly large with a balcony  (all we could see is a dog park......). the bathrooms were huge with two sinks, large mirrors and a remote control shower, that's right, remote control. Pretty darn amazing. Anyways, we got up in the morning and went down to have breakfast, they served cereal, omelets, toast, eggs, bacon, ham, and cheese. And then there was the fantastic milk! The must milk there own cows or something because it isn't processed in anyway, this delicious milk is full on, fresh, pasture-fed whole milk.     
                                  As my Mom and I strolled around town, we spotted a restaurant that had a big sign that said: "Chocolat" (that's actually how the Belgians spell it) so we decided to go in and check it out. After we ate, we were a little disappointed that the waffle and pancake we ate wasn't actually chocolate, but Mom had some amazing hot cocoa. It was light brown liquid in a cute little tea-cup that you stir with a plastic spoon with chocolate melted at the bottom you can mix it in. We enjoyed our lunch very much, especially the waffles. they were fluffy, but not light, they were loaded with sugar and butter with fruit on the side of the plate.
                                   After we finished looking around in the mall that the restaurant was in, we walked down the street and found a store that sold Belgium chocolates, so we decided to go inside and look. The store had lots of samples all over so we could try the different ones, we ended up buying some of them (although they were kind of expensive). We didn't get to taste the best kinds of Belgium chocolates, but we were contented.
