Brussels - August 20, 2019

If you look at all my cover photos of Belgium, they all look the same right? However, Brussels is by far the grandest and most prettiest. This city center is all right! I'm kinda torn on Brussels. We didn't get to see much because it was our last day and we had to drive back to Otterberg. 

One of the most famous statues in Brussels is the Manneken Pis Statue which depicts a little boy pissing in the water. It was featured in a few Hollywood movies. We also needed to try a Leige Waffle which was totally different from a Belgium waffle. 

Manneken Pis is a statue. I can't remember the particular movie. But it is a famous statue. When we got there, it was crowded, not because of the statue, but because something was going on. Only a few people took pictures in front of the statue and you know me I'm doing it! Jared was being a sour puss again. He wanted to go after I took a picture of the statue, but we were going to explore and get another waffle. 

There were plenty of waffle stands in Brussels, like multiple stands on every corner, and I believe they are all owned by one person because they all have a similar set up. There's about 2 dozen different ways they dress the waffle and they are all fresh waffles not fakes. The bees were swarming, sucking all the sugar out of the waffle toppings. We only bought 2 waffles, but the lady made a mistake so we got 3 waffles instead, SCORE!

Eating all these waffles in Bruges and Brussels makes me want to go on a diet. I seriously need to lose some inches of my waist. However, my weight is okay for now. 

Mary wanted to check out the anime store. We walked and walked until we hit an Asian town or street. You could tell with all the Asian restaurants. After Mary bought her album, I wanted to get a few more Belgium beers before we left. I bought this Trappist beer which had 10% alcohol. That's crazy right! 10% alcohol in a beer, that's like wine already. 

Exiting Brussels was tough, there was a lot of traffic and it took us 45 minutes to get out. Shell drove 4 hours home to Otterberg. Even though the GPS said 3 hours, it took 4 hours to get home because of traffic.
