Belgian National Day


Happy Belgium Day (Friday July 21)!

Yesterday the country celebrated the installation of King Leopold I as king of Belgium in 1831.

Early in the day, Norm, Jermeiah and I mad a trip to Atomium. Built in the 50s and renovated the last 2 years. It still carried a futuristic 50 feel, as can be seen going up the escalator from one shiny ball to the other.

We also visited a large old grave yard and snapped photos of the catacombs below. We had dinner at that belgian cafe on the corner by Bourse, you know, that tall one.

We ended up at Grand Place and Parc Bruxelles for the firworks, which sounded awesome.

I could easily have stayed for a few more weeks. There are so many cool things to see around Brussels, and the company was awesome!!!
