Bruxelles!

We got home from Normandy at around 9:30, and headed to Bruxelles around 9:30 the next morning. Unfortunately, our friend Kelly missed the bus and had to meet us there. BUT after a 5 hour bus ride into Belgium, we finally arrived. We got off at the wrong stop in a Harlem-like area, but figured out the half-German Metro and found our hostel. After dropped off our things, Sam and I decided to get our first famous Belgian beer.

Moi-même.

We then began our Brussels (ou Bruxelles pour les français) sightseeing, all of which can be done in around 2 hours.

Random Chinese balloon-covered building.

By this point it was nighttime and freezing, so we sought refuge in another bar. (Sorry to those against alcohol, but it's Europe, they're everywhere)

Belgian beer is some of the most famous...and cheapest!

Me and the random American who sat next to us.

In love.

We then went to meet Kelly, who finally arrived at 9:30 that night (7 hours after us). We went out with some people we met at our hostel. The next day we woke up, and redid the sightseeing for Kelly's sake.

Grand Place.

Again.

And again!

We then sought out the famous "peeing boy statue." After wandering around Bruxelles, we almost passed it, because it turns out it's very small and unimpressive!

The peeing boy fountain.

The much more impressive chocolate version across the street.

C'est tout! Bisous!
