It was all worth it.
May I present without further ado, chapter one of BRU² + BCN 2011
(wrong... ok, YOU do the math, then... I was an arts major.)
Brussels! The Delaware of Europe:
I got to Brussels after 18 hours or so, and found this guy.
Seriously, he was just standing there.
And we saw a lot of this.
...then found the coolest city map ever to use a cartoon dog for scale.
We saw some of this...
..and some of the mystical Guttenfruits, named after Brussels' patron saint Steve Guttenberg, that, when tickled properly- provide sunshine, one liners, and the magic path to...
...the best frites known to Europe (with TWO dipping sauces, mind you!)
-
-
I know you're curious: they were garlic aioli and curry ketchup
-

We got street beers by Beurs...
...saw some street art...
...and a random street fair...
..which led to more beers...
..and more (this time sour... Cantillion, you crazy!)...
..and a few more by the stoop- a la Jay & Silent Bob.
Which ultimately prepped the palate for traditional Belgian waffles served in...
What might be the first enclosed shopping arcade in Europe.
Valley kids love a good historic mall....
..and some good train art that matches the garbage.
Dang, this guy loves trains.
And I destroyed my 6th umbrella of the year.
All fear the great destroyer of umbrellas!
