Friday we did a walking tour around Brussels. The two hours were well spent and very enjoyable, minus the freezing weather. When I mentioned earlier that the Grand Place was spectacular with medieval architecture, I was not wrong as I later saw a book that titled the Grand Place the most beautiful square in the world. Everytime I enter I am impressed. The walking tour took us around to the King's Palace and numerous other historical sites, including the Mannekin Pis (the little boy peeing). For a little country, they have made up by having the biggest buildings. All buildings are enormous and detailed.
Saturday had us go back to the Grand Place and area for a final look before we fly for Ethiopia tonight. Still magnificent, and still cold, but also snowing today. Nice to know it will be over 10 C next week. Oh well, it will be 25C tomorrow in Addis Ababa.
