I was finished with some family business, hadn’t been to Europe for years, and was free to go exploring. But more importantly, I was going to journey to the 2004 Olympics in Athens, Greece to work with a YWAM outreach team. Belgium was my first stop.
When I was finally on my way and it all set it that I would be on the road for another awesome adventure, I was filled with joy!
The buildings and architecture seemed like something out of a steampunk dream.
I was impressed with the intricate stonework on this church entry arch.
You can visit Belgium without spending time with the Manneken Pis. It is actually the best-known symbol of the people of Brussels and illustrates their humor. There are many legends about the little guy, and one said he was awoken by a fire and was able to put out the fire with his pee, helping stop the king’s castle from burning down.
A quick visit to the museum of music rounded out my short stay.
