Antwerp

June 26

With my class we went north of Brussels for the day.  We had an instructor teach us how to make Belgian chocolate lollipops as well as chocolate crunch balls in a gorgeous building in the town square.  The chocolate in Belgium is very delicious, as you can imagine, so I enjoyed this part of the trip very much.  He let us take home the candies we made as well as sample his chocolate by dipping marshmallows into it.  The chocolate filled me up quite a bit, but I had lunch in a very good Italian restaurant, which was on a side street of the town square, next to city hall in Antwerp.  Then went to SENSOA where they gave a presentation about their organization.  Later that night I ate at a Chinese restaurant with my friend Marissa, we met up with the rest of our class and went out to a bar called Délirium Café.  This bar has over 2,000 different types of beers that you could order, from fruit beer to beer with a very high percentage of alcohol.  It was recorded in The Guinness Book of Records in 2004 as there are beers from over 60 countries available there, many of them being Belgian beers.  The great part about this is that it was only a couple of Euros.
