Maybe you were wondering what the seat of the European nation looks like? (Brussels, Belgium)

Beautiful. That's the answer!

A beautiful church! (Brussels)

I adore the Eurostar. Its the high speed train that runs from London to Paris and London to Brussels. I was dying to take another trip on the train, so I convinced my brother to take a few days and explore Brussels with me. Without our resident historian (Jason) we set off. And of course, our first stop? A beautiful Belgian cathedral!

This pulpit is actually inside of a different church than the one in the picture above. It doesn't matter though, because it is so ornate and gorgeous that I thought it was a must see regardless!

A quick glimpse... (Brussels)

You might be asking yourself...what's there to see in Brussels besides a beautiful cathedral? Well, in addition to be the home of the European Parliament...Brussels has a bit of everything!

Brussels has incredible culture...including a beautiful Royal Theatre House!

Brussels is full of greenery! This park was full of nature trails, benches for relaxing and ponds! The perfect anecdote to a full day of sightseeing!

Churches. You can't get away from them. (They still manage to impress me though!)

A Palace fit for a King! Truly!

One last thing... (Brussels)

Have you ever wondered if those yummy little items you love to eat are actually enjoyed in the country that they are named after? Well, for Belgium, I can say yes. Belgium waffles are loved by the Belgium people! So much so, that they are sold on the side of the street, from little windows next to shops, and of course, from mobile waffle vans. Chad was kind enough to allow me a photo of him next to the Gaufres van (translation...mobile waffle van)!!
