We got to experience the Ommegang Festival which is the telling of Brussels' entire history through performances of actors/actresses that practive for the festival year round.
While visiting Brussels I met up with some old family friends. Cecile did a study abroad/exchange program while in high school and lived with my grandma in America for 6 months. Our family has kept in contact since then and she and her husband Mark gave us lots of recommendations around Brussels.
Most of the day was spent sightseeing and exploring the city center. We ended up going to Cinquantenaire Park and did a couple of museums.
