Daily Didactic
Today was a day of leisure. Celebrating the lack of museums and our awesome pad we spent the day painting, catching up on the travelog, reading and lounging. It was great. Today was Belgium's national independence day, so we also listened to a busy and celebratory populous outside our window. A little after 10:00pm we decided to walk toward the park where their evening fireworks show would shoot off, to see if we could get a distant view. The closer we got the more the narrow streets clogged and our motivation waned. We didn't end up seeing much, but logged a little exercise and returned home for the end of a really great day.

There was a lot of commotion in this direction, we did not investigate

This was about it
Looking back toward our flat and the Grand Place
Great colors...
...and a slightly better view
A garden that on a normal day we would have got more information on
Fun lighting
If we only had our 3D glasses
