Brussels, Belgium, land of waffles, Flemish festivals, and manneken-pis

Just like the rest of my trip Brussels was wonderful and I was there just in time for the Flemish festival which was a blast....lots of concerts and all free!! I also got free gifts and ate lots of waffles and chocolate. Make sure to check out the video at the bottom!!!!

Manneken-pis (no explanation needed)
A true belgium waffle, I had to drink a gallon of water afterwards to wash it down...very rich but yummy

The gallery The Flemish festival and my many gifts

Two of the performers I could have looked at and listened to all night






One of the bad things about waiting so long to post pictures..I can't remember what this is called and I'm too lazy to look it up but it was cool exspecially with people sliding down from the top. I wanted to do it but the line was way too long


Concert in the park, one of many



The true capital, the one in downtown is just a tourist attraction, this is the President really lives














Hope ya don't get sick but I loved this guy and this song...

I love Luxembourg

I loved Luxembourg. There weren't a lot of tourists so I got to enjoy the sites without them being overly crowded. At the Casamonts I was all alone and it was amazing. Then I walked through the forrest all by myself and got some great shots at the ruins. The eternal flame











The Casamonts were amazing and were used during WWII for hiding


One of the deepest and narrowest places




The Ruins







The Three Towers

Traditional dance of Louxumbourg

A typical day in Louxumbourg...Loved it!
