We arrived in Brussels yesterday and found our hotel which was in the middle of the sketchy part of town and surrounded by prostitutes. It was pretty darn sketchy. The actual apartment was pretty good though. There was something squishy for everyone to sleep on so we were happy. We dropped off our stuff, and then walked around the city. We went to see the statue of little boy peeing and got some ice cream there. The statue was really cute, and that little boy was really muscular! It's so weird that sculptures and painters make babies buff.
Then we went to the Grand Place, which was bombed to the ground by Louis XIV of France. It was a really pretty square with a huge cathedral on one side that had a super tall steeple, and cool buildings with red flowers in flower boxes all around. It was really festive, because the red flowers and the warm lights from inside the buildings made it look Christmassy. We sat down on the ground in the middle of the square and ate our ice cream, and then walked around some more before we went back to the apartment. We had to shoo all the prostitutes in their stripper heels off of our doorstep. Mommy always picks the hotels in the most interesting places!
