I finished my 2 obligatory exams early and started a nice long vacation, full of visiting, exploring, and learning french.
 |
| One morning I made crepes with Francoise! There was something wrong with the stove, so it took us like an hour and a half to make 5. And I made them too thick. But they were really good, and it was a good lunch |
 |
| The first snow I saw in Belgium! I happened to be in Liège! The temperature in the city is usually 3 or 4 degrees celcius warmer than it is out in the country where I live, so it doesn't stick as much, but it was still pretty in the air. 16th december. |
 |
| The church down the street in the snow! |
 |
| Out my window with the snow |
 |
| Another day, a couple of exchange students got together and made gingerbread people! It was a fun soirée |
 |
| The marché de Noël at Liège is one of the biggest in Belgium. It has 3 different sections, one of them includes this ferris wheel. A delicacy of the christmas market is Vin Chaud, or hot wine. Wine with wintry spices in it. Also putine. it's Quebecois, look it up. |
 |
| The booth at the marché that actually made me take into account that the Tour de France is starting in Liège this summer! Don't worry, I already have plans to be there for it. |
 |
| My pull rheto! The senior class hoodie. All the names are on the back (not the exchange students names... I'll just write them in on everyone's.) |
 |
| My little cell phone and a pig made of marzipan! Funny because none of the Vanrykels really like marzipan, and neither do I. |
 |
| One day with Françoise, we painted. Françoise is a pro at arts and crafts, so she offered me a little canvas, and I painted, and then made a paper snowflake, and then traced that. |
 |
| Françoise says she's going to put paper snowflakes in the windows every winter now :) :) |
 |
| One morning near to Christmas, Fanny baked a bunch of pinwheel cookies that tasted soooo good. We used them as little Christmas presents at the family gathering |
