Brussels was a nice city. I only had one day to explore so I made a beeline from the train station to the Grand Place. On my way I met Don Quixote and his side-kick. The square at the Grand Place was surrounded by very neat, ornate buildings from long long ago. Notice the one pictured below. See how is it not symmetrical? They say that the architect flung himself from the tower when he realized his error. (Whether that's true or not I don't know. It's just something that they say.)
There was a lot of great shopping in Brussels. So many chocolate stores! I was in chocolate heaven. Most of the stores gave free samples to entice you into buying. I also found my way to the chocolate museum. What an amazing process they go through to create the delicious treat. I can't imagine how they ever discovered it so long ago.
Then of course, one must make sure that they do not miss the Manequein Pi's if they visit Brussels. He was not dressed for any occasion one they day I visited, but on holidays they dress him in the proper wardrobe for the season.
