June 25
Today we left for Brussels, Belgium bright and early-too
early if you ask me. The minute we
arrived we placed our bags in storage in our hotel, went to grab a quick lunch,
and went on a two hour walking tour of Brussels. We saw the square (picture below), which was gorgeous and
had many different styles of architecture on each side of the square that you
looked at. We covered a lot of
ground, seeing practically every aspect of Brussels that was important and
beautiful. Our tour guide also
added in many interesting facts about the sexual history of Brussels as well,
which has a very different feel than Copenhagen does. We then went to ILGA-Europe, International Lesbian, Gay,
Bisexual, Trans, and Intersex Association, where we meant Sophie who gave us an
overview of what the organization does.
ILGA main concern is with LGBTI (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans,
intersex) human rights and equality in all aspects across Europe. We then went back to the hotel and relaxed
for a couple of hours. Then went
to this amazing restaurant called Chez Leon, where I had mussels, french fries,
traditional Belgian beer, and chocolate mousse.
