Last Friday we took the train and rode into Brussels to see Dave Matthews perform live in concert. The show was amazing. It was just him and Tim Reynolds playing an acoustic set. Some friends of ours watched the boys and we had an awesome time. The city was so alive. Every time we go down there we see things we hadn’t seen before. I can’t wait to go back to that part of town and just enjoy the night life.

The next day, the whole family went up and explored the city some more. We started off in what is called the Grand Sablon. We walked around a nice antiques market they have every Saturday and Sunday and stopped by a famous chocolatier, Pierre Marcolini.

The chocolate is some of the best I’ve had and living in Belgium, I think I’ve tried the best! Afterwards we walked down to the main square in brussels called the Grand Place. On our walk we stumbled across an interesting parade and I have no idea what it was for. People painted themselves with black and wore pink and black while carrying this little baby. This isn’t the first time we have stumbled across interesting things like this in Brussels. I still have no idea what it was for, but it was interesting nonetheless!
