while on the hunt for the parc du bruxelles, we stopped here, honestly because we weren't sure how to get to the other one. we spent most of our saturday here, and it was twice the park than the one that holds the capital's name.
in the words of the first line of the national anthem: "noble belgium, forever a dear land"
devin and i couldn't stop laughing at the big green tour guide bus parked right in front of the arch. fits right in, and is not distracting in the slightest:)
i love getting sneak peeks into people living their belgian lives. i'm prone to believe that the lives europeans lead seem a little more rich in enjoyment, and fulfilling experiences. maybe europe just has more parks. and beautiful parks bring people out into nature. and nature usually leads to fulfilling experiences. devin and i are just dreaming of the day utah has parks where grandparent couples spend all afternoon reading a book in styling lawn chairs...
or a dad and his sons play soccer till they can't stop...
...or a solitaire sunbathing space that doesn't attract glares because you are not the only one itching for warm rays. ahhh. i'm going to find one such park when i return. do let me know if you have one already.
royal museum of army and military history
the prettiest park we've seen yet in brussels. surely will be going back for another weekend escape.
