Brussels

After the walk-a-thon of Paris, we were glad to find that Brussels was a small city. We found some beers and made our way to a local restaurant and wandered until we were tired.

Day 1 was spent walking to, exploring, and coming home from the EU Parliamentarium, which aside from teaching me more about the EU also had this cool display:



We also met a dinosaur:



RJ also had to do laundry at one point, so we hung out and did that the following afternoon. It was odd, being alone (literally, or as the only white/male/foreign people) in the laundromat on vacation, but it was commensurate with Brussels being the resting place between the intensive walking/sightseeing of Paris and Amsterdam.
