Day 8 - Brussels

It's hard to believe, but my time in Brussels is coming to an end.  I've had an amazing time and I'll be sad to leave, but I'm looking forward to Sweden!



Drinking a Rochefort 8 (trappist beer) at Delirium.  This bar has over 2000 beers to choose from.  With it we had cheese and celery salt, a very Belgian thing to eat when drinking beer.



Part of Delirium's menu.  That's right, a Molson Lager costs 10 euros.

Outside the Toone puppet theater/bar.  It dates back to the 1830s.

The Toone theater.



A clip from the puppet theater.  Hopefully it works.  If anyone speaks French, I would love to know why they all start dancing at the end.



At Cinematek - this is where the pianist played when we watched the silent film "The Wind."  It was pretty amazing.  The guy played for almost 80 minutes non-stop.

Making friends with the cat (every bar has one apparently) at l'Image Nostre-Dame, possibly the oldest bar in Brussels.



The dog version of Manneken Pis.  Yes, this is actually a statue in Brussels (it's called Zinneke Pis).



Sampling Westvleteren's beers at the bar across the street from the monastery.  It's one of the few places where you can buy it for a reasonable price apart from ordering a case directly from the monastery (which you can only do by phone and you need a car and I think you can only buy one case per month).
