We have been her just over 2 weeks living 15 minutes outside of Brussels, so after our training ride today, we decided it was time to brave the big city and venture there for an outing. I have been, but both Wendy and Emily have not. You can't really stay here this long and not ever make it into the city. Right? 3:30 on a Friday, we headed downtown, only to find that we are all bad tourists, bad decision makers and bad big city people. And we don't like smoke and we all are not very good shoppers. That kind of limited us, but here is what we did...
Wandered around the small streets and shops around the Grote Markt
Took in some of the great sculpture
Saw the tail end of the Winter Fest and tempted ourselves with a ride on the Ferris Wheel
Visited the Grote Markt (Grand Place)
Watched the tourists take pictures of Manneken Pis (Little Man Peeing)
Had my first Belgian Waffle

Going to a big city sounds like fun until you actually have to be around all those unhealthy people. Staying outside looks like a safe choice.
