Brussels, Belgium

This month we took a trip out to Brussels with some new friends. It was our first European trip and were very thankful to have some veteran travelers with us. The drive was a little under 4 hours from the KMC area. We couldn't of asked for better weather but the city was very packed because a huge beer festival was taking place. I wish we had a bit more time to do more sightseeing but from what I saw I thought Brussels was a very large, dirty city. The food was good, especially the mussels and waffles. 

 I couldn't resist having a Belgium waffle! Don't they look delicious?

 What can you say about a city who's most famous structure is 

a little kid peeing fountain. 

Rüdesheim am Rhein Weinfest

Our new friends invited us to a wine fest at a nearby village called Rüdesheim am Rhein. It was about an hour away and we had to jump on a fairy to cross over the Rhine river to get into town. Rüdesheim is the quintessential German fairy-tale town. It is a winemaking town in the Rhine Gorge and part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

We walked down Drosselgasse which is a quaint little street in Rudesheim that is worth walking down. This town is really touristy. There are wine shops, beer gardens, bratwurst, ompa music...... the works. It still is a great place to visit, especially during a wine fest.
