Brussels
I really liked Brussels and it was an easy city to explore. I learned a lot about the European Union and stopped by the EU for some free maps and reading. Brussels was an interesting city because Belgium has many official languages (every advertisements was written in at least three), but everyone I encountered seemed to settle on English as the common ground. Monica and I walked around almost the entire city, making sure to stop for frites, Belgian waffels, and more beer!

Les gaufres, or waffles!
At night we went to a morgue themed bar called Le Cercuiel, or "The Coffin." Reyn told us about this delightfully dark bar months ago after reading about it in one of her books, and it was a little gimmicky but still fun to drink out of skull cups and sit around coffins. We also went to a famous bar called Delirium, which has over 2000 different types of beer.
