Of all attractions the city of Brussels boasts, it’s funny what a disproportionate amount of attention goes to this little fountain that attracts mobs of people. Manneken Pis (this is really its name) is a small bronze fountain sculpture depicting a naked little boy urinating into the fountain's basin -- it truly is a landmark in Brussels. There are several legends behind this statue, but the most famous tells of a Duke who in 1142 put his infant boy in a basket and hung it in a tree, to encourage the troops to fight a battle. From there, the boy urinated on the troops of Berthouts, who eventually lost the battle. Who would have thought urine could be such a powerful weapon!?! Check out the video of the masses gathered around this thing.

From urinating fountains, to Belgium waffles, the day couldn’t get any better. We had waited a long time to find just the right waffle to splurge on. I think we did pretty well by choosing one smothered in white chocolate and whipped cream. I managed to sneak a couple bites in of the thing; although Jason was being a little possessive of his delight (in fact he thought I should have gotten one of my own). All I know is by the end of devouring the waffle he was covered in whipped cream, and completely sticky for the rest of the day.

Our time in Belgium is coming to a close, as we hop a flight tonight to Geneva, Switzerland. It’s probably a good thing we have some distance from the delicious beers here, as well the decadent chocolates and waffles that we’ve been splurging on. This past week in this country has been fabulous – I only wish I could have convinced Jason to buy me a diamond, since I mean they are so much cheaper here. I guess we’ll have to save that for our next trip here. . .
