Sun and fun in Brussels? Yes it's not the boring EU centre of its reputation.
Saturday courtesy of we are social I was part of a group invited on a Eurostar little break, big difference trip to Brussels.
Our full on day began with an incredibly interesting guided tour of the Margritte Museum followed by a Peruvian BBq on Bruxelles les Bains ha you don't have that on Paris Plage. I'm betting there was a great party later on.
Some of us took to the streets to see the amazing street art. London artists get spraying you've got huge competition here.
Stumbled on a small beer festival where we tried Bremers beer and I manged to convince the boys to try snails. All except one and now he wishes he had. You'll just have to go back.
Locals told me there is also a festival not to be missed in September.
We got a glimpse of the square and the amazing buildings before we raced off to a beer tasting. Cherry beer, that was a first for me. We sampled local sausage, cheese and of course mussels.
The day flew by so quickly, so much to do. I feel a wee break coming up soon.
You can see more of my street photography here and you can meet all of the fabulous people I spent the day with here:
Alex David Gordon Katherine Lux and Jourik Mark and Tom Mehrdad Radim Sarah Violette and Medina.

LOL That's actually one of my favorite garden statues over here in Canada, I don't think there's a single gardening center of consequence in the city that doesn't sell a fountain topped with that little fella. Great capture and the other photos you took on your trip are great too!
I too had a great time each time I was in Brussels. It was thanks to my dear friends living in Belgium ...
Sounds like a fun time. Looks like a long line at the W.C.
What a great trip...food, recreation and art. I'd love to see the Magritte museum!
LOL,that is a cool pic!
Bruxelles is a beautiful city !
That first photo is a riot! What a great time you had!
Thanks so much for coming by The Villages DP!
Have a great evening!
I'm so glad to have clicked on the links for your friends - especially the first one (Alex). I feel thoroughly refreshed and enlivened by seeing the photos of trucks and cardboard models and the V&A Street Fair (Tiddleywinks!) so I've had extra value from visiting your Brussels post today.
Nice composition. Are they turning colors because they are squeezing too tightly? :)
That is a funny shot indeed. Love it.
Sounds like a great trip. I'll bet the Margritte Museum was incredible.
ha ha ha ha

I wonder if my wife would consent to a green peeing statue for our back yard ....

You crammed a lot in, glad you enjoyed.
What do you mean the Empire doesn't exist anymore?! Surely you are joking!
Very cool! :-) It reminds me of this one I've previously posted: http://oeirasdailyphoto.blogspot.com/2009/04/santo-antonio-classic-or-trendy.html
I like Brussels - weird food, though. The local seems to really like cows' brains in what looks like mushy peas.
I love traveling and seeing new things.good thougts..thanks for sharing...
