Mom and Loel had to go to Zone Conference in Antwerpen, so while they went, Em and I explored the city. We actually didn’t explore too much of it as we only had about 6 hours and there was a huge outdoor mall with lots of good deals. We mostly stayed around the main square; got some pasteries, a truffle, and I got a haircut.
It was a pretty city that was well kept and historic.
The main Cathedral in the city was very tall and ornate. Nearby was a really big fountain with multiple sculptures spouting water. We got kind of tired (as we didn’t
get lots of sleep – despite the great accommodations at Mom and Loel’s) so we spent a lot of time relaxing on a bench reading our books and dosing off – it was nice.
After zone conference, we went to a great Italian place where a newly baptized member is a chef.
We didn’t get to meet the member (Mom and Loel know him) but the food was great. And we topped it off by making homemade nutella-ice cream-strawberry crepes when we got home!
Brad your hair cut looks good! And those crepes look delicious can I have one?
ReplyDeleteHi Brad & Emily - I didn't even know you had a blog until your mom spilled the beans in her email about her own blog update. So now I read all the posts to catch up on everything. It was so fun to see what you guys have been doing! I stayed for 2 weeks and backpacked Europe after Richelle and I finished our Spain study abroad (she went home), and did many similar things as you guys, so it was really fun to relive. I loved Switzerland the best of all the countries too! And ate gelato every single day as well. :)
