a building in the Grand Plas

Hello all. I am about ready for bed, but I thought I would post some more pictures today.
We got to Brussels around 12:00pm and then walked to the Musee des Beaux Arts which was a beautiful building with lots of old belgian paintings, and then a lot of 19th century paintings that were from artists that I actually knew about.
After that museum we walked to the Comic Strip museum that was not all that great. All of the comics were in French, so it was a little hard to know what they said.
We walked to dinner and then to the Grand Plas, which is the center square of the city.
We walked around a bit more and then headed back to the hotel room.
I was able to have the room to myself for a while and was able to indulge in my loner side after being with the group.
Tomorrow I am getting up early and walking across the street to the beautiful park to wander and sit and journal and again get in just a little bit more ME time.

I love being here. It really is a great experience. Not speaking French might be a problem, but good thing that I have Cassie ( my friend and room mate who speaks french)
I am excited though to be in Paris and be settled for a little while in one city to really get the feel of it and where things are.

And yes mom, that is a new orange purse! I love it.

Until next time.
