Visiting Brussels

Here are a few of the other things that we did while in Brussels. Our first priority was finding and visiting the Neuhaus Chocolate Facotory. After getting very lost on our first try we retraced our steps and found it, and let me tell you it was sooooo worth it. Unlike most of the other chocolatiers here they actually set out samples of their products and you get to try them before buying. I walked out with a major sugar high and alot of chocolates to take home. We then went out to an area called Brupark that has alot of the newer touristy things in Brussels. There is an indoor water park (b/c it too cold to have them outside), lots of restaurants, a theater, mini Europe and something called the Atomium (a very large model of the Iron atom). It looks neat at first glance, then we noticed that there were people zip-lining off of the top of it. Zane was sooooo excited and amazed!! We didn't have time that day, but I have promised to take him back to do it. You can do it tandem, that way he will not have to do it on his own and get frightened. So sometime I'll post pics of us flying through the air. While there we had lunch adn thought we would try out the mexican food in Belgium. We will not be trying that again. Logie enjoyed the guacamole, but otherwise it was nothing to write home about (although I guess I did anyway).
