Brussel Bytes

Posted by Kara Buckner

Some snippets ‘n soundbytes from my first full day in Brussels…

I started out with bread and cheese for breakfast.  (Very French, oui?)

I ran into a metal pole.  Face first.  Because I was busy reading my map.

I drank a boatload of Belgian beer.

The beer-consumption occurred after the pole-collision.

Which means I am not a lush (like you thought I was).

It means I am a klutz (which you already knew).

The map that had garnered so much attention earlier in the day mysteriously jumped out of my pocket.  So I was lost for several hours.

Which I resolved by stealing a wifi connection.  At a pseudo-McDonald’s.

But then I felt guilty.  So I bought some french fries.

I learned how to use the city buses.  Only to later realize I needed to take the train.

So I could go to a bar for dinner.

Where they only served bread and cheese.

  1. Kara, clearly you need some world-famous Belgian chocolate to go with that beer and metal pole. Trust me, it will make you feel better.

  3. I think you need lot’s of potassium for any aches and pains, due to your collision. And what’s a great source of potassium? Brussels Sprouts!
    Wha, wha, whaa.
