BBQ and Flea Market...Can Life Get Better?

We woke up this morning, had breakfast and decided to venture outside to see the flea market our new landlord told us about. I must say we didn't have very high expectations! As we walked out of our hotel, we were welcomed by hundreds of vendors, selling everything from meats, clothes, lingerie, pasta, frites, electronics, flowers, LIVE ANIMALS. You name it, they had it! It was awesome! We've decided that we can purchase a weeks groceries at the market...for less than the grocery store! From what we've heard, the market goes on every Sunday, rain or shine, sleet or hail! I'm excited because of the fresh fruits and vegetables, and Stephen is excited for the fresh brats! Make sure when you come visit you are able to stay for a Sunday. It's eye opening!

Tonight we went to Gill and Christophe's house for a BBQ. Gill is Stephen's new boss at PFS here in Liege. We were again curious of what to expect at a Belgian BBQ. We had chicken kabobs, lamb burgers, sausages, ribs, potatoes, salad, bread and sangria. She even had a strawberry tart and tea/coffee afterwards. I must say we were impressed, and really excited to have food we liked :) Hopefully in the new apartment we can purchase a grill. We hadn't realized how much we missed it until tonight!

Well, it's off to bed! Stephen's got to get up tomorrow for work. And I have to figure out how to buy an alarm clock and contact solution! Ciao!
