THE UNEXPECTED HIGHLIGHT: BRUSSELS, BELGIUM!!!!
We got in kinda late so we went to a cafe for some dinner....
The following day was my FAVORITE DAY!!!!We didn't know where we wanted to go or what we wanted to see
so, we walked down this charming street!
and found vendors selling all kinds of stuff
and ate the three things Brussels is famous for:1.) FRENCH FRIES
2.) WAFFLES
...which are nothing like our waffles...
(you eat them with your hands like pizza, they were AMAZING)
3.) Chocolate
mouth watering I tell ya.
All three things were DELICIOUS!!!!!!!we seriously grazed through the day on these staples.
With bellies full of all healthy foods we stumbled upon the main plaza that...
surrounded us completely by these Gothic style buildings.
The plaza was busy with music and people
celebrating the annual festival.
We aren't quite sure what the festival was for but it was fun to hear the different music and see the different parades that marched by.
One word to describe our day:
PERFECT
We absolutely LOVED LOVED LOVED our day. We kept expressing our love for Brussels throughout. We would love to go back but how can you beat that experience? It seriously was untoppable. So we will just have to reflect on the memory.
Now were off to ROME!

Wow, Brussls sounds like the place to be. I am so jeolous, all your cool pictures and stories are making me wish I could take a trip to Europe. Those fries and chocolates look amazing. Have a wonderful time in Rome!
WOW!!! seriously... those waffles... I think I could eat those every day!! Those look SOOOO good! One day we will make it there.
And to think that Scott lived there for two years, but was too young to really appreciate it. What a shame! We have GOT to go there someday!!
Sounds like a serendipitous meeting!! One of those things that other might think you are mental when they go there just because they do not happen upon the right little street and the same festival and magical happenings- but amazing for you guys!!! So awesome. Nourishment for the soul!
Thanks for sharing all this with us so we can all dream of being there! I'm so glad you had such a great trip!
