Travel With Me Abroad

Hello to all.  I’m very excited for the opportunity to share my upcoming adventures through Themetrip.  In the next couple of months my husband and I will be starting a new chapter in our lives with our big move to Brussels, Belgium. 
A little about the upcoming blog and myself: 
I love food! While eating breakfast I’m already talking about dinner. I will be posting notes and pictures of where we dine, what we eat and sometimes what I cook.  
I love adventures! With my husband being in the Navy, we have had and have the ability to visit and experience places all over the world.  I will post about our travels and experiences while living in Belgium.

Motorcycle Ride to Germany

Adam had an appointment at Ramstein Air Base on Monday.  Instead of making it a work trip we made it a fun weekend.  We packed up the motorcycle and rode to Germany. 
 
Packing clothes should have been easy, but with Belgium’s weather you can never pack simple.  We had a beautiful warm ride to Ramstein and a cold rainy ride home. 

On our way to Ramstein we stopped in Liege, Belgium.  What a cute town.  I didn’t expect to see the Meuse River right in the center.  We hadn’t been to Liege and thought it would be a nice rest stop.  Ok, we really stopped to get a real Liege Waffle.  Yep, it was delicious.  However, the Liege waffle from our farmers market is still the winner.  They serve it to you fresh off the waffle iron.

Our next stop was about an hour away in a town called St. Vith.  It is a German-speaking town in Belgium.  We stopped to fill up the tank before riding to our destination.  

When we arrived to Ramstein Air Base I was in culture shock.  I sat with the bags while Adam checked us into the lodge.  As I was sitting I noticed that I could understand everyone’s conversation.  People were dressed much differently than how Belgians dress and people were smiling as they were walking by. I know this might sound silly to some, but this was really strange to me.  

Ramstein Air Base is huge.  Our hotel room was pretty much in a mall that offers a variety of stores, and restaurants.  It has a movie theater, a spa and an outdoor center with a rock-climbing wall.

The restaurant choices were not that great.  We ended up eating at Chili’s.  Oh, boy.  The portions were huge!  As we were eating I was doing some major people watching… Seeing people eating dinner in their workout clothes is something that does not happen in Brussels. 

After dinner we went and saw Jurassic World.  It’s been 8 months since we went to a movie.  The movie was good and it was exciting to see in a theater.

The next day I had so much fun clothes shopping.  Clothes’ shopping in Brussels is tough.  It’s expensive and the clothes don’t fit me right.  Winter is coming and I need clothes.  Thank goodness for online shopping.

Although it was cold and rainy on our way home from Ramstein, it still was a beautiful ride.  We went over so many bridges with huge canyons filled with villages and the entire ride had views of trees and greenery.

The base did have a good Hofbräuhaus. Cheers!

It was beautiful. People in Germany are so nice too. My husband had a wonderful time when we crossed over to the Autobahn.

Got my passport...but only travel by google street maps. Brussels is a cool place to explore even by computer.

    About Nakoma

    I have always had a passion for Art.  After attending five colleges (Navy families move…a lot) I earned my BA in Art History.  I’m thinking our first few tours will be art, art, art and then food, food, food.  I will post information about the tours we do.  

    Please note, that my blog posts will not be consistent.  We have a very busy, and fun schedule ahead of us, that might limit my time to post. 


    For those who plan to follow, enjoy!

    Cheers!
