Brussels

So, we've been in Brussels for almost 3 weeks now. I haven't updated much about the city at all. We live just south of city centre and next to Halleport - the last standing entrance gate to Brussels.

Our flat is decent and livable, but nothing to write home about. There is a big market in St. Gilles Parvis every Wed., Sat., and Sun. - but on the other days, there are still a few vendors selling their goods. We've got to know the cheese/meat guy pretty well. Great food. We haven't really gone out to eat much in the area except to get donar kebap from the guys next to the Halleport. We've done the tourist stuff - Mannekin Pis, Grand Place, chocolate, beer, etc. We even made it to the Flower Carpet (turn down your speakers before hitting the link)

We are finally settled in.

So, this weekend we are headed to Rotterdam.

A few sets of pictures:

Set 1: 14 photos mostly of our drive to Belgium. Including the autobahn and 104 MPH driving. =)



Set 2: 5 photos of the flower carpet.



Set 3: 20 photos of Jeff's visit to Brussels. Including the Cantillon Brewery (they make the last traditional lambic/gueuze - by natural fermentation)



Until next time.
