Last week the summer program did a day in Brussels, Belgium. I started my day by visiting the Comic Book Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The museum itself is a really cool Art Deco building<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Bet you didn\u2019t know the Smurfs were created in Belgium! In French they are Les Schtroumpfs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tintin-one of the most popular comics in France and Belgium<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Also on Brussels there is a lot of comic book inspired street art<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then it looked like it might rain again, so I made my way to the Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert, which is a covered shopping area. Inside are a lot of art galleries and other expensive shops, but fun for window shopping!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everybody\u2019s peeing in Brussels LOL<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And of course it wouldn\u2019t be a trip to Brussels without some frites! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also got this chicken stick thing, which was basically just a chicken nugget in stick form<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And we ended the day by all meeting in Grand-Place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
