Sorry that my blogs are a little off. Sometimes it is hard to find time to write. But yesterday was amazing.
Yesterday I went to brussels with fellow exchange students from all over the world. I got to reunite with all my camp friends that also went to Belgium. We took a huge tour bus to get to Brussels from liege. But I felt like an idiot for a while because I completely forgot to wear my rotary jacket. I didn´t even think about it!!!! But I brought my exchange pins and business cards! I went into the Palace but once you have seen one room you have seen them all!I was talking to an oldie South African (oldie means they have been here since January because their school year is different from ours) She was really cool and I liked talking to her. We talked about age laws (drinking driving smoking and voting). I also saw the grand place and went into the town hall thing. there the mayor of brussels spoke to us and also some guy witha wheezy voice who had to cough alot. But the man had a very good speech, especially for broken english! He said "Perhaps by doing this we make the world a little smaller." He was talking about exchange and how it promotes peace and understanding. Then he told us that the bar was open so all the exchange students and what not got some beer!!! What a country Belgium is!! This beer wasn´t as good as the day before though. Eventually we went back to Liege and Luigi Ferrara took me home. Then guess what happened...
I WENT TO MY FIRST ROTARY MEETING!!!The men were very nice and mostly old! I had good food (especially frites and eclairs) and wine. I talked to this old guy who had very good English and I definately think I was at my most charming. By the way; The rotary meeting was not boring as I thought it might be.
And mom, expect something in the mail soon. I think you will like it alot.

FRITES ECLAIRTS, BEER AND WINE WILL GO STRAIGHT TO YOUR BUTT
you forgot your jacket!
only you
Huh, well there is something special about an adult who says things like "Hi, kiddies, guess what? open baaaaAAar."
And you're dad is right! Have too much of that stuff and you'll come home looking Cuban!
(That phrase was not meant to encourage to drink more beer and whine. Only tasty yummy stuff with funny names ^_~)
i completely agree with your dad
I agree with your Dad (my son) also.
Miss you soooo much. We just got back from 5 days in Pagosa Springs and I couldn't help but remember what fun we had last year with the whole family there.
I hope you realize how fortunate you are to be having these experiences at such a "young" age.
