And we're off! Nothing like mimosas on the Eurostar en route to Brussels :)
Our hotel, Aris Hotel, just steps from Grand Place.
First order of business upon arrival in Brussels: Mussels and beer. Prepare to please me.
Grand Place! The prettiest spot in all Brussels.
Matt, Bill, and Bobbi in Grand Place.
Matt in his natural habitat: A chocolate shop.
The gorgeous covered arcades of Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert.
Sometimes you have to pose for these photos. It's a rule.
The Grand Place all lit up at night.
Nightlife on Grand Place...those Irish coffees cost 14 euro a cup, yo
Matt gets artsy with the photography....
The Cathedral of Grand Place.
Brussels is the world capital of amazing beer. So I decided to photographically catalog all the beers we drank. Here are Bush, and Lindeman's Framboise. Note that every beer has its own special mug.
Beer with dinner! Duvel, and my personal favorite, Kwak (with a most amazing glass).
The next day, we visited the symbol of Brussels- Manneken Pis.
Me and the little pisser.
The Manneken has a costume schedule, though this week he is naked. Many of his used costumes go into the National Museum. Seriously.
The Joneses and Manneken Pis!
A closeup of that famous stream.
The tourist hordes clamor to get a photo...
