Brussels

There is really not that much to do in Brussels. We got here at 3-something on Wednesday, and after checking into our hostel and relaxing a little bit we went out again to explore. We saw some pretty buildings, but in general Brussels is rough and ugly :( That's mostly what people told us, but we wanted to come anyway.

The most famous landmark in Brussels, which is on all the postcards and souvenir things, is this statue. It is, in fact, a little boy peeing into a fountain:



After doing some touristing, we decided we needed some Belgian beer. Here the Trappist monks brew beer that is very famous and all that. You can read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trappist_beer

This is what we ordered:



And they tasted like beer. Terrible, terrible beer. Kim said her tasted like dirt mixed with ash, so we decided beer was actually just liquid Pompeii.

We also had good beers, which were peach and raspberry flavored. This bar had a Lambic brewed specifically for them, Lambic Blanche, and I wanted some but they didn't have any! They were out! How rude.

We went home after beer and I got to talk to Drex, which was nice cause we hadn't talked in a while <3
