Brussels for 5 hours

Went to Brussels today. Mostly just walked around after getting a late start from catching up on sleep. Saw the main architecture and the Grand Palace. The famous Manneken Pis (a statue of a little boy pissing fountain), a beer museum, and the oldest church in Brussels. I had a Belgium waffle, and for lunch mussels, fries, and beer--all the staples of Belgium. I went to see the Atomium which is a huge tower of atoms sort of. You can go inside and look out at the city, but it was too late in the day, so it was closed. I took the Metra and I enjoyed people watching at BruPark. I came home and Duong had made dinner. I am now going to bed and will leave Belgium tomorrow to go on to Germany. My first stop is one night in Frankfurt before I head to Berlin for a couple days! Bonsoir!!
