But we'll get to that at the end of our story today. Don't worry, it is not a repeat of Saturday. Promise.
So, B arrived just on time. Early really. And I knew she would be early, and still I was late. LOL. Sorry, B! Of course I was late. B saw every bad and dumb thing about me today, but still I think she is my friend. :). We'll get to that later too. Actually, it starts almost immediately. B thought we would go to the Sablon, or antiques district. Which was good, since I hadn't been there yet. So, after the metro and a bus ride (crazy crazy bus drivers) we arrived. We weren't out on the street five minutes and of course I trip and practically fall over. We could say that I was distracted from looking in the Armani store (because I was looking in the window and we could further say that I was thinking about certain men in certain Armani garments) but honestly, that would be a lie. I tripped. Plain and simple. Splat. Poor B. She spent the whole day with a klutz.
So, we wandered there and went to the royal chocolaterie and.......ya, of course I had to buy some, but only as a gift. I won't eat them. I still didn't eat those expensive cookies from the other day, and I have to eat them by Wednesday. Unless the recipients would like to share. I'll let you know. Hehehe. My poor leg is in bad shape, so poor B, not only did she have to put up with klutzy T, she also had to out up with stopping every few blocks so that I could rub my leg for a while. She has the patience of a saint. We made it to Manneke Pis a famous Belgian icon. It means........Peeing Boy. So, dad , if you are reading, you know where I am going with that. Hehehe. Won't say another word on the subject. We also saw the hidden gem of his sister.......Jeanekke Pis........which B knew about. (ok, sidebar, I just discovered the keyboard on iPad splits. Cool. Anyhow.....). Never would have found her if not for B. she is very hidden away.
We shopped and lunched in the plaza and were touristy. Must have been so boring for poor B. Especially when I wanted to stop all the time because of my leg. Ugh. So frustrating. Anyhow, we got some lovely scarves......2 for 5 euros. Not bad hey? Then I had to get another one because it was so beautiful.........deep pink and violet and purples. I love it. B got something too, but I will let her tell you if she wants to.
I wore some new black jeans today. They are too big and fall down. But of course I didn't know that until we were out. So I was always hiking them up. Couldn't figure out why my fingers were black as coal. I looked awful! Dirty dirty hands. Turns out it is from the dye of the jeans. Even after a scrub in the tub (another sidebar......hopefully not too much information, be warned.......the bathtub is in the room in the new room and watching tv in a claw foot tub is a new level of decadence. Just saying). Anyhow, my fingers are still stained sort of. I am a wreck. Seriously. I had toilet paper stuck to my shoe. What else happened, B? I thought some other things. I couldn't make a good impression if I tried. And I was trying! This stuff doesn't usually happen this badly to me. A little bit, but today was everything! And through it all B is a perfect lady. Imagine her with the likes of me? Poor thing. Hope I didn't embarrass you too much, my friend. At least we were laughing, right?
Oh! For the first time in my life, I drank an entire beer! Can you believe it? And all this stuff was BEFORE the beer! LOL. Anyhow, it was Kriek. Cherry beer. And it was really good! I liked it a lot! And will always remember sitting in the sun in the square at five pm, with my dear Belgian friend driving beer. :).
And B taught me all kinds of useful things! About the metro and the bus. And perhaps more importantly, that one street over from where I was all this time, was the main street with all kinds of shops and restaurants. Granted, it's up where the square was, but I didn't venture that way! It would have solved all my problems regarding food and restaurants. Tonight, at the crazy crazy supermarket in downtown Brussels, I got a great salad for dinner! To go! So much better than croissant every night! What did I do without her all this time? Not very good, let me tell you! Typical T. See? B saw THE WORST today. No wonder she was crying when we said goodbye. It was tears of relief! :P
I am only teasing, girl. The day was over too soon, and we had to say goodbye. Time to Say Goodbye. That song has new meaning. Anyhow, there were so many tears from mostly me, as we blubbed in the entry way of the B&B. I could barely speak. Sorry B. I'm way too emotional, I know. But you were so kind, and such a lovely friend...........I.....ya.......bawling in Brussels. Again. Now. So, we hugged and cried and said goodbye and hugged and bawled again. Then decided that we had to take a self portrait even though we were half weepy. Silly, silly girls, aren't we?
We waved until we couldn't see each other as B went to the Midi train station. Then I blubbed some more. Ugh. Why am I so emotional? Cause that's just me. I have a big heart and Im a softie. We bawled and laughed though. That's a good sign, right?
Sorry readers, not a very exciting blog today, no history or visits to foreign places. Just two gals in Brussels hanging out for the day. One of them being a totally klutz. Lol. Miss you already, Miss Belgium!
And that, folks, is today's report. Over and out. I think I am going to ave one of those expensive cookies now. Or maybe a royal chocolate. If there was a ever a day............
