brussels (belgiam)...not sprouts

why, hello there.

the day after we arrived in london, we made a day trip to brussels. we had to get up at 2:30 in the morning to make our flight. it took us a little longer to get to our final destination than what we had thought...after a bus ride, a bus ride, the flight, another bus ride, and a train ride, we finally arrived in downtown brussels. we were in need of some serious nourishment when we got there...

our first ever belgian waffle and first of the day.


the main square.

matt being really cold.


an accordianist playing on the street.

matt and a really big door he thought was cool.

a belgian french fry stand.


matt's belgian beer sampler.

sarah and i exhausted from getting up at 2:30 and asleep.


us in the main square.

isaac and sarah...

brussels at night.


a few of you will understand this one...

the main building all lit up at night. they had a big light show and classical music playing. it was so old europe and my favorite part of brussels.




we were in search all night for a waffle that had the hard chocolate on it, for sarah. and we found a place that only had one left! sarah proud of her waffle.


all of us eating our waffles...well, matt didn't quite get the memo. (photo courtesy of sarah)

we got back to a very rainy and cold london and back to our flat at about 1:30am. a full 24 hour day, but who can say that they've been to belgiam?

london photos coming soon.
