This past weekend was the Brussels Carpet Festival.  It has been SO hot that as you can see in the picture, the flowers were dying by the minute.  We went the 2nd day of the festival. I can't imagine how brown it was on day 5!   Still a very cool thing to experience though. 

THE Brussels carpet!

This was the coolest street act I've ever seen.  This dog didn't budge.   I actually stood over him looking for his respirations!  At first I thought he was stuffed!  

This is HOT!  Especially when your house has NO  air conditioning!

Such tourists. Always supporting the street acts!

A plastic replica of Mannequin Piss.  If you don't know what he is, consult your friend "Google!"  You wouldn't believe the comments people say about this! 

No, waffles do not come from Waffle House.  These are  traditional Belgian waffles.
