Sorry we didn't post last night- welcome to the wonderful world of European technology. We have had a tough time with anything modern :) Anyway, we are still having a great time. Today was our last day in Brussels we leave in the morning to go to Paris. We have LOVED Brussels. The people are very nice and the city is amazing. Yesterday we spent the day once again on a money search-- we can't wait to get to Paris and cash in all the $ -- Living day to day on a few euro has been tough, but on our search we found some great places- so I guess it was meant to be. We went to a beautiful open air market- thousands of vendors-- I mean thousands. Flowers, food, fabric- you name it they had it. It was so much fun. We finally found money and booked a ticket to Waterloo (which was the whole point of our quest to begin with). We made it to a little town of Wellington and then took a bus ride to Waterloo-- We just happen to arrive on a day when they were have a reinactment of the battle. Everyone loved it-- Patrick especially-- Blythe said the cannons were TOO loud. We also met a nice gentleman from China, that we rode the bus with- it is so fun meeting all these people from all over the world. We then made our way back to Brussles before night fall and found another Turkish deli to grab a bite before bed.
Today we spent our day just touring the places we didn't get to see yet. We went to the City Center-- AMAZING!! The buildings were built in the 1500's and they are still in use today- it was so beautiful. We spent the day just walking the streets and searching for that perfect trinket to bring back home-- of course we had to stop several times for chocolate and a few beers-- We have had a great time here, met some great new friends, and have all vowed to come back again someday-- with only euros in our pockets of course-- Will check back in a few days with you guys-- we have a big day of travel and a BIG suprise for the girls tomorrow when we get to Paris---- Until then we miss you all and wish you were here with us.
