A successful train ride!

I got on a train in Virton headed for Antwerp and even though I got on the wrong train, it was in the right direction! And I actually ended up getting to Antwerp an hour sooner than planned!! :D it's about time something went right! ;) haha
Vending machine... Notice anything weird?!
They sell beer!! In a vending machine. at a train station. You are supposed to put your ID in but everyone said they bet it didn't work and you didn't really need the ID.. Haha I didn't have any euros on me or else I woulda bought one!
Antwerp central!
The prettiest train station I have been to!
It was such a beautiful station!!
Everything looked so old and pretty!
They're very bike friendly here, even some stair cases have little rails for your bikes!
I thought it was pretty cool!
Antwerp.
The station from the outside :) the zoo is directly to the left haha
Silke, the daughter of the family I stayed with, decorated my room!
How adorable :)
She even wrote it in English!
I liked my princess bedding :D
Silke drew this on my iPad the first night - she also put all her contact information in my contacts haha and added herself to my Skype. She's such a cutie. She took me around and taught me Dutch! (they were impressed that I could still sing songs in Dutch) everytime I spoke Dutch they would just laugh at me lol even when I got it right!!! Anyways, I am actually staying in Sint Niklaas which is about 20 minutes outside of Antwerp and I am staying with the Van Eynde family. Kristof is the husband and he works with my mom we were good friends with them when we lived in Antwerp. Mitha is the mom and they have three kids: Stijn - 14, Daan - 12, Silke - 10. I had a really good time seeing them again. It's been a long time!!!
