Top Ten Memories from Brussels:
10. Eating a Waffle from a yellow van with a waffle picture on the side of it. It was parked outside of a cathedral.
9. Eating graham cracker from a chocolate fountain.
8. Going up the glass elevator, on the edge of the core of the city, to see Belgium with the sun going down
7. Beer.
6. VERY old, and VERY new, beautiful, architecture.
5. Discovering that McDonalds and the rest of Brussels spoke English, regularly.
4. Cars honking for wedding processions. We're talking, lots of honking - a long time...
3. Seeing a college group celebrating together with free beer out in the public square at 11 am. It was a Saturday, but it still surprised us. They had dressed up the statue fountain (of the little boy peeing) in a sort of costume. They were singing. We were laughing. It was a good time.
2. The violinist that we saw downtown in the evening. I saw him from across the street and he said, 'for you'. And then he started playing Bach for us. It was incredible. And he was a really nice man.
1. Having a few bites of a chocolate made by 'Pierre Macrcolini'. It was so good I nearly fell over laughing. I'm smiling now thinking about it.
Hope you enjoy the photos. The architecture was really amazing. It was a very structurally, colorful city with beautiful colors and a lot of texture. Made reading and writing a treat 😊
with love,
- tim and sarah
