From Paris I went to Brussels, Belgium. That was a very cool city. When I served as a missionary in Ireland, about 28 years ago, I had a companion from Belgium and he told me the main tourist attraction was a little statue called the Manneken Pis so I had to see it. It was a very small statue but there were many tourist versions all over the city. When I was in Lourdes, France, the entire city was filled with Catholic souvenirs and that stood to reason. In Brussels it was chocolate. There are chocolate stores everywhere… and boy is it good!!! I think they have the best chocolate but it is a close call between theirs and the Swiss. I loved the city and it is one well worth visiting. In the main market area there were so many tours for tourists, I didn’t have to go on one to learn all the history (yes they were speaking mostly English there).
This was a cool set of old style building I happened to come across.
This building is huge and but hard to capture because it is part of the next few pictures which are situated in a huge market square.
This building was built to commemorate the discovery of Australia in 1699. The world apparently only knew of 4 continents before this time.
If you didn't like Belgian waffles before, you will now. Have some ideas on what you can do with them. ||The next pic also.
