Rachael and Riley's Big Adventure: Comparisons from Belgium

Comparisons from Belgium

The girls each choose two things to experience and share from each country.

Rachael chose to try a hamburger in each country and to taste it and rate it on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the best.
She also chose to meet a dog in each country we visit and take a picture of it, and pet it if it was friendly.

Riley chose to try hot cocoa in each county and also rate it on a scale of 1-10.
Her second thing she chose is to make a fairy home for the fairies in each country we visit, and take a picture of it when she is finished building it.

Here are the pictures...

A two minute walk from the ship and we found mcdonalds. Rachael tried a happy meal Belgium style. She said the burgers tasted different and there was more meat in the patty, and it came with carrots, smoothie and water! She gave it a 9, because the burger wasn't exactly like the ones at home as she expected

It was a cold grey evening and we sat outside in the cafe with only a few others to enjoy some hot chocolate. Cécémel was the brand of hot chocolate we saw advertised everywhere, so Riley tried it. She rated it an 8, it even came with a chocolate biscuit (cookie) for dipping.

We found a enormous playground across the river from the ship. Riley decided this was the place where she wanted to build her fairy garden. She found some wild strawberries to even feed the fairies!

We were only hours in Belgium when Rachael saw this dog in the shopping mall! While daddy was getting cash at the ATM, we talked to this women and learned that she rescued the greyhound from the racing track. The dogs are used for races and then after a year or two are killed to be replaced with younger dogs! We asked for a picture, and the dog was feeling shy. We told her that in our country dogs are not allowed indoors like in Belgium, and she was shocked. Dogs are allowed everywhere in Europe even in restaurants!
