We did not eat brussels sprouts

But we were greeted by a picture of a big bowl of them upon getting to the airport. Brussels is a fun little city filled with all sorts of quirky things. We made sure to have our fill of waffles, fries with mayonnaise (which really wasn't as revolting as it sounds), chocolate, and Belgian beers. The sights Brussels is famous for are quite absurd - an elementary iron crystal enlarged 165 billion times, comic book street art, and peeing statues.

One of the most interesting things we did while there was visit a brewery which makes beer using natural yeast from the air (the same process people used thousands of years ago). The beer was sour and kind of a mix between wine and beer. The tour was interesting and the beverage was unlike anything we had had before.

We also spent some time in a museum of musical instruments. It was a fun museum experience because whenever you walked up to a display case, you plugged your headphones in and got to listen to music which used those instruments. There were instruments from all different time periods and from all over the world.

A fun little stopover in a fun little city!
