backtrack, day four, charlotte's version

today we saw Brussels- in the snow! we saw the Royal Place, Royal Palace, the Sablon, Palais de Justice, the EU, Parc de Cinquentenaire, Shuman, Colonne du Congres, the Botanical Gardens, Rue Nueve, Atomium (World's Fair structure), Laeken Palce, St. Micheal Church, Bourse, Manneken Piss. The most interesting thing I learned(and odd) is that there;s a different church for the baptisms, regular attendance and burial for the Royal family. we came back to Marissa's to grab our bags and take her to dinner. Dinner was good but the great thing was that the parents of one of the girls we were eating with (one of Marissa's high school wyldlife leaders) paid our bill! It was super nice of them. anyways, we rode the Thalys high speed train into Paris and I can't wait to see it all!
