Irisfeest in Brussels

What a joy Brussels is when no cars are allowed in the center. Today, thanks to the yearly celebration of the Brussels Region, we enjoyed a carless day with lots of cool activities. And even plenty of sun, how atypical can it get! There was the 1,2 km long table between the gare du midi and the grand place,  the small eateries scattered around it, the great circusinitiations for toddlers and kids of all ages, the fountain filled with colourful balls and one giant plastic one, in which a ballerina was dancing – poetic to say the least – , the dance event embellished with great cocktails, the concerts on the square in front of the palais, …. .

Charlie, Saartje, Kim and me divided our time between the table (a girl has got to eat, no?) and the circusinitiations for toddlers. When you have kids, you finally understand the real goal of child attractions – give the parents a break and let the kids exhaust theirselves so a good night sleep is the result. Charlie climbed up and off everything he could get his little hands on, just sorry i didn’t brought my camera.

You’ll now by now I really, really like my city and well, today was another of those days why…
