Flying into Brussels was a breeze. We actually got there early and walked passed immigration and waited about 30 minutes for Jackson to join us and then we were off to Hotel Albert. Since our room was not ready, we left the bags there and walked to Grand’Place. That is mostly where we hung out and walked and walked and walked.
A favorite spot was the Royal Library of Belgium near Grand Central station. They had an exhibit on manuscripts from around the world. The visual presentation of the written word was exceptional. Instead of placards as explanations for the exhibits, there were small notepads the size of Kindles that transitioned from object to object in the display. In one area, mini rooms displayed cozy studies/libraries from different eras.
On one walk near Palais de Justice we happened upon a graffitied skate park; then took the glass elevator down after admiring a hilltop view of Brussel’s Upper Town.
We also of course ate frites (fries, not French though) and delicious crunchy waffles.
I'll post more pics later.
