part III: brussels

Finally some sort of recap of the third leg of our recent (okay, it's been two weeks) holiday. Quick flight to Brussels, but not before stopping at the Dahlmayer's restaurant at the Munich airport for a spot of weisswurst before takeoff. Yum. :-) Just photos for now, but I will write more about Brussels soon.
As we walked from Gare Centraal to our hotel, we passed through the city's Gay Pride parade. I liked this sign...
Au Bon Vieux Temps, where Big Jim and I met all those years ago....It has not changed a bit. Many of the same characters, but also a wonderful revolving door of new ones (now that the Lonely Planet has included ABVT in its guide....)
The Grande Place, with its near-permanent gray sky.
City museum, where you can go see all the Mannekin Pis's costumes...
Always flowers for sale.
On the grounds of the Africa museum, in Tervuren.
Designated poop spot in the park....
And of course, a closeup of the sign... :-)
The Africa museum. We saw a fascinating special exhibit on the Congo.
Momma bird on her floating chaise.
Lots of little bunnies, too.
Back at Aux Bon Vieux Temps...ancient stained glass panel from monastery.
FRITLAND! Conveniently located on the way from ABVT to the hotel, excellent fries with huge selection of toppings. Just don't ask for ketchup. :-)
