A Rainy Afternoon and Evening in Brussels

by garridogal - last update: Feb 9, 2006

Picture Perfect

Beauty in the Rain!
Brussels was the last travel stop of our "Fog and Food" tour. We drove there from Epernay, France arriving in the afternoon. After leaving our bags at Alan and Flor's amazing Townhouse, we were taken to see the downtown area.

I need to go back to Brussels. Not only do I think that Grote Market may be the most beautiful European Plaza I've ever seen, but I was so impressed with what I got to see of this amazing city.

Alas, our journey was almost at an end. After one of the best night's sleep I've ever had (Thanks, guys!) we went back to Leiden!
Got Burberry?

Strolling in the Rain...

What can I tell ya? The fog and clouds and rain were determined to accompany us on our trip. Actually, I really like walking in rain. That, plus the excellent company made me not even think twice about the weather. And as you can see, we were ready to brave the elements!

Guilty as Charged

This is Cuna, the craziest Boxer I've ever met! I'd bought some bags of Nougat for my mom while in France and left them in my room with the door shut while we went sightseeing.

Big mistake. She opened the door, ate the Nougat AND the plastic wrap it came in. And it never even made her sick...

I don't see any remorse in her eyes. Do you?

Pros:"Gorgeous Architecture in a very large city"
Cons:"The short amount of time I was there!"
In A Nutshell:"Brussels is Beautiful!"

 In choosing between the velvety chocolate and the delicious waffles I'd be in real trouble...hmmm, which one!!

 Glad to see you had a nice time despite the bad weather! Ah poor Jeanneke Pis, nowadays she is just locked up behind bars so now one can steal her. Sad faith indeed!
