Like all good tourist, we also visited the Manneken Pis
Belgium=Good Beer
As for the sense of place, it's something old and something new like this plaza. The church on the background is middle ages old...you can see those colorful tubular steel that are more contemporary. I like the juxtaposition. It's spicy one may say.
The city is well tagged. The tags are not hidden; they are right smack front row center. They don't hide in the fringes. They are a big part of the landscape. This one is by the National Library
More beer; the balm for all that sight seeing
I never get tired of old magnificent churches; that this happens to be a Catholic Church makes it so much more comforting
Brussells is a huge interior design destination. One of their neighborhood is devoted to this art. Here are a couple storefronts from the neighborhood.
They also have a bumping flea market scene:
Did I mention they got good beer?
Accompanying me on this trip is my good friend Dan who grazed most of the beer shots.
What is not included in these photos are:
Their amazing chocolate, tasty seafood,gaufre (pardon the spelling), bumping bar scene, mussels, lace, and friendly friendly english speaking locals.
