Last Supper

As a goodbye my familia cooked me a final meal. We started with an antipasto which is what you guys would call an appetizer. That was mostly pasta. Then we had a primo which is the first course, we had chicken. We then, had a secondo which is like "seconds" or a second course. That was fish. Finally we had dessert, which was my grandmother's famous gellato. Its kind of like ice cream and sherbert mixed. Well anyway I'm going to miss my flight if I keep talking so bye!

Hey guys. Yesterday I went to a cycling race and i got to meet Eddy Merckx!! The race for charity and the money went to one of the children's hospitals. For those of you who don't know, Eddy Merkx is the best- known sportsmen in all of Belgium. He won the Tour de France five times and took over one hundred and eighty major titles!! I was so excited when I got to meet him. He was a really nice guy and it meant a lot to me that he tool the time to talk to his fans. Eddy Merckx is my idol. He has inspired me to take up cycling and exercise, and eat healthier.

Talk to you guys later. Bye. :)

Hey guys. I went to the candy store the other day with my mom. I'm sure most of you know that Belgium is known for its chocolate. We have a large variety of chocolate, from the original piece of chocolate to the very interesting piece of chocolate covered bacon. I got enough chocolate to last me six months.

Belgium makes 172,000 tons of chocolate per year. There are over 2,000 stores in Belgium that sell only chocolate. When you calculate that out it mans that each person eats 22kg every year, or 61 grams every day.

I have to go. Bye. :)

Hey it's Dora again. I went downtown yesterday with my mom, dad, and brother, Benard. We went to this fancy restaurant because my brother is only in town for a few days before he has to go back to college. Did you know that french fries or 'french frites' as we call them here, were invented in Belgium!? It's one of my brother's favorite snacks. You have probably also heard of Belgian Waffles. If you ever visit Belgium I highly recommend trying some. We are also known for our large selection of beer. We have over 400 types of beer and each one has its own specific glass. Well, I have to go. Bye. :)

Sports I Play in Germany

Germany's national sport is soccer the national team has won the world cup three times. Another famous sport is tennis. Germany is the world leader in tennis, track and feild, and cycling. Boris Becker made tennis famous in Germany when he was the only 17 year old to win in wimbledon

Football.

Today I heard some of you Americans say italy looks like a boot. I can understand that, but then I heard another rumour that Sicily looks like a football. I don't understand that part. I don't know what football is for you guys, but we play it with our feet. I think you call our football soccer, but next time could you say "American Football" so I would know exactly what you mean. Just for clarity I will call my football soccer, but really is it neccesary to have two words for one thing?
