Today we spent most of the day lost or completely turned around. While we still had a good day, we are having a hard time finding our bearings here. We had just a few destinations on our agenda today and it took us forever to find them! All of the buildings look the same, the sky looks the same. We couldn't even tell which way the sun was going down. (We wouldn't know which direction to go if we could see the sun)

We purchased the most expensive cookies on the planet today.
Sucked in by the tourist scheme, we purchased cookies right off of the Markt. Four tiny cookies cost us 8 euro. Look up the conversion rate, you'll be shocked! I ate one. There were four.

We went on two separate tours today. We learned that things are much easier now than they were more than 500 years ago.....
We also learned that the English soccer/football supporters are hooligans. The Wigan Football club. They made such a mess of the main square here. It made me angry. They went through town chanting and scaring the carriage horses. No wonder they lost their spot from the Premier League and were moved down to the Championship League. Go Belgium!!!
Tonight, we're thankful for tea kettles so we can eat our oriental noodle cups in our room because we have no kitchen.
We found these at the supermarket today. If you know Jared, you know that we HAD to get them!
Having our never seen this in the States, I assumed it was Peanut Butter. Boy, was I wrong! Imagine a ginger snap crushed up into a paste. Yeah, it is pretty awesome! Speculose. Incredible, is all I can say.
Sorry folks. Nothing exciting today.
if you liked the gingersnap cookie paste, try Cookie Butter from Trader Joes! I think you'll find it very similar. I bought one and ate the entire jar myself, not in one sitting of course :-)
ReplyDeleteI will look for it when we get home. Seriously, I might send you some speculos. It is seriously so yummy.They put it on waffles here.
