My best friend Emily came to visit London! We only spent a couple of days in London and she had already seen the major sights, so we did a little shopping, pub trivia and saw the musical Once. But then we took the Eurostar to spend 3 days in Brussels.
The Grand Place - it rained a lot while we were in Belgium!
In the evening the rain stopped and we got some great night pictures.
Park du Cinquantenaire - a really nice urban park. While we were there, they were setting up for a Renaissance fair so there were some interesting characters wandering around in costumes. Sorry I didn't get any good pictures of that!
They have a thing for Smurfs in Belgium - we saw them in the windows of several shops, candy shops and this nice statue.
A photo montage of Brussels isn't complete without Mannekin Pis - the unofficial mascot of the city.
We also visited the City Museum where they keep a collection of over 1000 costumes for the statue. It is considered a diplomatic gift from other countries and important people to give Brussels for Mannekin!
