Ghent, Belgium

 
 
A quick 2.5 hour road trip and we were in the beautiful city of Ghent, Belgium.  The food was delicious, the people were friendly and the sights were fabulous.  We had heard that Ghent is a wonderful city and it did not disappoint! 
 
First order of business...lunch!  When in Belgium there are four things that the country is known for that you must consume:
 
1. Waffles
2. Chocolate
3. Fries
4. Belgian Beer
 
I can't wait to go back for the food alone!
