Annelies wanted our first full day in Belgium to be interesting, so she planned a special outing for us. A tour of sorts that would provide opportunities for photos of big and famous stuff.

In many ways, Belgium looks like the US.

First, for the big stuff… the Atomium in Brussels.

We moseyed around there a bit, taking in things like this little waffle truck.

Belgians don’t eat waffles for breakfast. That’s snack food.
We were hungry for lunch, so we skipped the waffles and chose a little restaurant with some unusual decor.

Annelies is quite the planner. Can you believe we were able to see so many famous sites in the span of one afternoon?

It was a tour of Mini-Europe. LOL.
Wait till you see the pics from the real Brussels.

Is that a mini golf place with all the famous building? For some reason I expected to see a putter in your hand, lol.
Brandy, no golf. Just a collection of models to entertain tourists like us.
My goodness, Annelies did an amazing job of showing you Comprehensive Europe. How fun! I bet they’re all spot-on with accuracy and detail.
