Brussels

I've recently come home from Brussels.  Now that I've spent a night there, I can say with confidence that  

Brussels is Amsterdam's waffel-loving, dirtier, fatter sister.  I loved it.

After our corporate show (for a Dutch Boiler company), Haley, Brian and I went to the world-famous Delirium brewery!  I drank two Belgian beers and felt completely schnockered.  Brian had to carry me and Haley home over his shoulders.

After our brew-haha, we stumbled over the the "Grande Place."

Then we found a coffin bar.  The cocktails are deadly...

Brussels makes me look like a zombie.

The hotel where we stayed was awful.   It was conveniently located on Tranny Hooker Alley. I hope I never find it again.  I won't even mention the flies or random hairs on the comforter.  [shudder...]

The next morning, the boys and I walked around Brussels a bit and found the most AMAZING piece of art.  Totally remarkable.  I'm surprised more people don't know about it.  

The "Manneken Pis" is a teeny statue of a little boy peeing.  Well done, Belgians!

Godiva is my favorite.
