Breakfast in Brussels

Today's passport stamp may look a little different. Note the train in the corner. And it says left London... and doesn't say where I went. 

Look at me! I'm different.

Brianne, Jeremy, Jenny and I left at 540 am on Saturday to catch a train to Belgium. Being a nervous flyer, it was a nice change of pace for me. Except for the screaming baby whose parents decided not to do anything about it.

Now being in Brussels for a mere 8 hours meant we had to be strategic about what we wanted to see. And luckily it is a small city that is easy to conquer.

As soon as we figured out where the heck to go...

Hey Guys!

But once we did... we took the pretty streets of Brussels.

Grand Place

Now the big attraction in Brussels is the statue of the peeing boy. Homage to him is everywhere...

But when we were there he was dressed like this...

Carnival! Peeing boy.

A little bit of a bummer but it was funny as hell.

Next was the Cathedral. Which was very different than most. It wasn't gothic at all inside.

And there was a lot more to see.

Best jump shot!

Grand Palace

Mercedes Museum

Like my new car?

And all that stuff  was amazing. But the real reason we went to Brussels was the food. We lived on a balanced Belgian diet.

Waffles

Yes, that is a waffle truck.

Chocolate

Beer

And fries

All and all, it was the best way to spend a day. In a lovely city, in another country, with delicious food and good people.

This weekend is a change of pace.
AMSTERDAM!

Peace out.
