I went on vacation with Alexis. For those of you that know Alexis, know that she is so hazardous to herself, let alone others - so the European Union, in preparation for her trip, put bumpers on scaffolding so she could walk safely, and keep construction workers out of harm's way.
Hotel de Invalides - in Paris, but this is the Brussels portion of the gallery. Just a tease...
Fountain aux Brussels
Someone's garage.
Alexis and I have an outdoor Brusselian lunch.
After lunch, we ate again... frites.
Me avec frites avec Brazilian sauce.
I think this is the platz we walked through everyday.
Yeah, this is it.
And so is this.
Mannequin Pis - really, that's what it is called.
The Platz at night.
A sculpture above a doorway - it's the story of Romelus and Remus.
Alexis thinks she's in China.
Me in the comic museum.
here's is the church
best, best, best chocolate in Brussels
Do they sell 5 euro meter-long sandwiches?

i convinced alexis that if she bent her arms back and forth from the louvre back to our apartment, she get thin.
