We made it to Brussels today and spent our day wandering around the cobblestone streets. Thanks to Kim's advice on adapting to the "European way," we decided to sleep in and leave a bit later...12 hours of sleep did a lot to cure our major exhuastion, I mean jet lag, from yesterday. The weather has continued to be perfect so walking and biking are great ways to tour the cities! We only got royally turned around once, but without asking directions managed to find our way back to our hostel. Brussels is quite the city, full of beautiful, huge old churches, palaces, gardens, and CHOCOLATE!!! It was literally a treat to wander the twisted streets and just see what we would stumble upon. We did, however, see all the major sites and national landmarks including the statue of a peeing boy. Quite amusing. If anyone would like a souvenior statue of this precious site, speak up now! But don't worry, if you don't reply by the time we leave, we do have pictures.
As we type away here we are drinking wine and eating famous Belgium chocolate, life is rough!
Wish we could post pictures as this city is very piscuresque, but no USB port available at the hostel....more pictures later, we promise- we are taking plenty!!!

ReplyDeleteYeah for the peeing boy! Can't wait to see the pictures! :)
ReplyDeleteAlthough I would love a statue of the peeing boy, I think I would probably enjoy the chocolate more:) However, I'm just happy to hear of your adventure. Thanks for the updates! I thought we were doing pretty good with goofy golf today, but your trip sounds a little better... enjoy!
ReplyDeleteMom and I check your blog every day. We can tell you are having a blast! Dad
