{ gorgeous ghent }

back to our europe vacation! i'm not sure if i'll ever get to the end! i'm going to show less pictures so it will go quicker.
after bruges, we headed to ghent where ricky lived and he even remembered where his apartment was! we found it and he was so excited! 

ghent city center



we were starving and were over "fine dining" (that is all there is pretty much over there) and we saw the golden arches, and yes, we ate there! we were so disappointed with ourselves but it was totally different! different menu, a ton of desert selections, a nice change. the only 2 "fast food" restaurants in europe for the most part are mcdonalds and burger king. thats it. (no wonder people are in shape!)

mmmm....french fry

way more mcflurry flavors!


okay, my pet peeve about europe is NO ICE! they drink mainly hot drinks and don't understand why you need to have ice in your drink! i was mentally prepared for this but was hoping to quench my thirst with a cold soda... nope! room temperature! i have to say compared to when i was there 10 years ago, more places are serving ice on the side. (funny, huh?!)
not to mention no free refills period and ketchup is like $1 a packet!


ricky's name on a sign! we found mine later on the trip!

off to brussels to stay the night and then hopping on a train to france to meet my parents and brother!
