Chocolate, Waffles & French Fries...

Posted by Dan Kammerer 
 
Marshall Garlock gave the Club a presentation on his Short Term Exchange Trip to Belgium. Marshall stayed with a family in Belgium (Mom, Dad, and two Sons). Marshal was sure to tell us that Belgium is known for its Chocolate, Waffles and French Fries!
 
 

While in Belgium Marshall stayed in a very nice home including a pool. While there he traveled with the family on their holiday to Italy visiting many sites along the way. While in Italy they stayed in a very nice residence and had a total of 4 families (20 people) staying at the residence there - also with a pool and a very nice view.

Marshall had a very good time, and was appreciative of the Rotary Club sending him on this very enjoyable adventure.
