Playing tourist - Part 2

After the Palace, we took the bus down to the Grand Place.




If you look closely in the picture above, those tiny little red and green umbrellas in the top right of the square...that is where we ate lunch, La Rose Blanche:


Notable that I have eaten a meal every time I've been to Brussels at La Rose Blanche. Twice in 2003 (do you remember, Katie?), once in February this year, and today. We must like this place!

After lunch, we strolled around and located the Manneken Pis:

What is really funny to me about this guy is that when we were in Atlanta, we went to 5 Seasons with some friends, and they have a replica on their patio. We told Grace we would see the real one in Brussels. Over the last couple of weeks, she has seen pictures of this guy and she keeps telling us that she's going to see him in Brussels. Well today she saw him. And she was less then impressed.
