Brussels - Day 4

On our last day in Brussels we decided to skip the hotel breakfast. We checked out and searched for a brunch of sorts for our last vacation meal. It was hot, and we had our luggage with us, we hadn't had any coffee or food, and just about every place only offered up a breakfast of bread and coffee. We were getting kind of irritated until we found a nice cafe in the Passage where we had a fabulous breakfast - exactly what we wanted!
We had to take some pictures of the bikes we rode - and since we had Waldo with us again, why not put him in the picture!



At the train station we again had some fun with the cardboard Waldo.


As to be expected, we had a great time on our vacation to Brussels. The biggest lesson we learned, however, is that we both need to work on our French! Technically Brussels is supposed to be bilingual - French and Dutch. In reality, it's just French. It makes it really confusing because we don't know what to speak. We ended up having conversations partly in French, Dutch, and English. We found this postcard that felt very familiar.

You're going to have to take more pictures of Waldo in various places along your travels.

Have you seen "Up In The Air?" If not, you really should see it as it's a great movie and I know you can identify with the photo cut-outs.

I'm jealous -- I want to go to Brussels, too. I kind of like museums myself.
