Meghan, one of Christie's friends from GT came in town today to explore Brussels. We wandered around town, visiting the Grand Plaza, Royal Palace, Manachin Piis, and other Brussels attractions. I loved her company and showing her the city. After only 2 weeks, I actually feel like this city is my own and I enjoyed sharing it. Tonight we went to beer fest in the Grand Plaza and sampled Belgian beer. As Austin so eloquently stated, beer fest seemed like a huge international frat party with more liquor and more people and in the most beautful plaza. People came from all over the continent to taste the Belgian craftsmanship, including Americans (hearing English was like sweet music to my ears). Men dressed up in crazy costumes from diapers to Hansel and Grettle-ish clothes, roaming the plaza, singing at the top of their lungs. People were jolly. Life was good. Then a couple guys decided to make the cobblestone pathway their urinal. It is a shame that my foot happend to get in the way. Gross. Really, I could have done without that, but it was one of those moments that was so ridiculous that the disgust only lasts for so long and then you just laugh it off. We even ran into some Georgia Tech students studying in France at beer fest. Talk about a small world.
The UT game begins in 15 minutes and I need to get a refill before kickoff. It's almost 2 and Taylor and I are still going strong... miracle.
Oh and how about App State today?!
