Brussels Trip

After doing Amsterdam in a day - if you can call what we did doing Amsterdam - we decided to take a train to Brussels. It having been an impromptu trip, Armen didn't have a list of the twenty things to do on his palm pilot. So we get there with only a map from of those sightseeing tours to guide us. Armen led the way and I followed him and Annie twenty feet behind. The weather was by turns sunny and warm and cold and rainy. We spent the entire afternoon there and all I remember seeing is a lot of architecture, only remembering this one by name; this public square formed by what had to be historic buildings of some sort; and the cobblestone streets that ached my feet. My inability to recall clearly could have been due to the space cake I had, which I doubt but is a possibility, or the fact that I was really sick and the weather didn't comply with that and all the walking we did. So what could have been a memorable trip was ruined, but at least I can say I visited Brussels.
