We went to Brussels, Belgium for two days. In Brussels we saw a famous statue / fountain called the Manneken Pis. It is a bronze statue of a naked boy peeing. There are many stories about him but one of the most famous is of a little boy who put out a fire in the city hall with his pee. He saved the King and Queen so they put up a statue in his honor. The people of Brussels dress him up in over 100 different outfits! We saw him one day in shepherd's clothing and one day he was naked! I thought it was a very funny story and he looked very funny!

for a minute there, Dinon, I thought that was you going pee!!!! It sure sounds like you're having a lot of adventures. I wish we were there to share the experiences. Thanks for keeping us up to date with your blog and all of your great pictures.
See you on Skype soon! Eliza
