This morning I had in mind to hit the park with the Atomium and Mini-Europe. 
We got there at opening time but decided not to go to the top of the Atom. It was built for a worlds fair and you can take an elevator to the top circle. It was advertised as claustrophic and there was a line so we skipped that tour.
Before touring Europe we stopped to have a waffle for breakfast.
Mini-Europe is a collection of 350 miniature models of the most famous sites in Europe. They are 1:25 size and very realistic.
In a about 2 hours we visited.....
Copenhagen, Denmark,
Big Ben and Parliament in London,
The Arc de Triumph in Paris,
a Bull Ring in Spain,
Gondolas in Venice,
the Berlin Wall,
the astronomical clock in Praque,
and I got a better photo of the parthenon than I actually got in Athens.
Brussels is heavy on business as the center of the EU and the NATO headquarters but was still a fun weekend away.
