In some countries people are being crucified when celebrating Easter, here we mainly enjoy more chocolate. I know some people who have family gatherings and so on, but even then it's to eat and talk together. Most people don't even know the meaning of Easter anymore (including me to some point), except that the Pope will give a speech and say "thank you for the flowers" in dutch. Actually that's what the old Pope did, maybe this one will have a different pronounciation and make it less memorable...
For the four of us here at home it has become a tradition to go out for brunch on these Sundays each year, and again it was a very pleasant morning. We went to the "Zuiderterras" which is located on the shore of the river going through Antwerp. Very nice view, especially due to the great weather of these days, and great food. Smoothie, sushi, croissants, egg, tortilla, fresh juice... yum! This is what it looks like, I'd recommend it to tourists wanting breakfast in Antwerp. :) And to inhabitants too.
Tomorrow I will be going to visit a friend in the city of Ghent. (I should be a poet... :P) Last time I was there was in January with Pablo, during quite a storm. Tomorrow the sun will be shining, but still I will have a very wintery feeling by going to the Chocolate Bar next to my old university. I used to go there more often during my studies, but now it has been quite long ago already. If anyone would ever go there, I would warn you for the "Quetzal". This hot chocolate has 4 flavours of chocolate in it, white, light brown, dark brown and dark, a true bomb. But soooo tasty. :P I might go for it tomorrow...
