I need to get caught up on these posts... Whatever. I suck. I'll get over it. But yes... the 9th. This was not a super eventful day, but I still had fun since I loved the Netherlands so much. That place is honestly so strange, I could see myself living there, though. We started out by going to the Hague and going to a windmill museum and just walking around the town for a little while. I didn't really love the windmill museum because I must admit, the history of windmills is not exactly something that tickles my fancy. But the city was beautiful. There hasn't been a place we've been to that hasn't been incredible. After we went to the Hague we went over to Delft and, again, got to explore the city. Delft is spectacular!! Apparently that is where the weird porcelain plates with the blue drawings on them come from. Who knew. But my highlight from Delft was going into this weird little cheese shop (yes, the cheese shop was my favorite, don't judge) and eating all of the samples. They had all of this crazy cheese that they had sitting out for you to try. Those sneaky cheese people made such good cheese that I couldn't even help but buy some. No wonder they didn't mind that we literally consumed all of their cheese because they ended up selling all 7 of us a wheel of cheese. They had goat cheese, pesto cheese, red pepper cheese, garlic cheese, aged cheese, spicy cheese, any kind of cheese you could think of. They also had some sauce out that you could dip the cheese in and I thought I was in cheesy heaven. Embarrassing, but I don't even care. Me gusta queso.

This was a long time ago I'm kind of forgetting things we did... Problems of a procrastinator. But I do remember that this was the day we went to Brussels and explored the city. It was really cool hearing that this was the city that is the most diverse in the world, that is something that I didn't expect. I also didn't know that Brussels is where the UN meets. The things you learn in Europe, right? But one thing I did love in Brussels was the food. I am such a fat kid with all of my food posts, I know, but my motto is go home big or go home. So I got these fries from this funny little frite vendor and they were really thick fries that he fried up in front of us with this amazing curry ketchup sauce. I don't even know what was in that crazy stuff, but I swear it was crack. It was that good. And then stupid Villam, I hate Villam (the bus driver from Hell, if you don't remember) wouldn't let me take them on the bus because he said the smell is too strong. I wanted to tell him to stop taking smoke breaks because his disgusting habit is stinking up the bus, but I didn't and just hurried and scarfed down my frites. Dang you Villam.
