May 17, day 15 of vacation and getting down to the end


Another day in Brussels. We decided that with the schedule we have kept for the last two weeks we would just relax in Brussels today. We had a leisurely breakfast and then took off for some shopping and city sight seeing. It was a fun day. Brussels is an amazing city and very much different than yesterday. There were lots of families in the city parks and the shopping squares seemed to be much calmer than yesterday. Steve and I have often ended up in places with unknown-to-us holidays or festivals and it seems our Brussels experience yesterday just adds to that file. We had mussels in Brussels for dinner tonight at a little square near the B and B.
Some of the other sites we saw today.
The Grand Place.

The Royal Palace of Brussels.

St. Micheal and Gudule Cathedral.

The trees that I have been intrigued by all over Europe. Taught to grow in straight lines. 
Steve and I have taken to calling them "tortured trees"
