• Bachan in Brussels

  

  Our first day in Brussels was grey and bright. It was a day for exploring some of the beautiful sights of the city, walking block to block peeking down the small alleys, and catching the art that wraps along the city walls. The Grand Place was the first place that I wanted to highlight for…
