Day 16 - Sat. June 25, 2011: Brussels and Paris

I wok up super early (4:30 a.m) and took a train from Frankfurt to Brussels, Belgium to visit my cousin Craig and his daughter Rosie. Unfortunately, Craig's wife was in Africa on business so I didn't get to visit with her. We went for a walk around the city center of Belgium and had a great lunch. I also got to eat a Belgian waffle in Belgium and it was delicious! I was able to spend about 8 hours with them before I had to catch another train to Paris. By the time I arrived in Paris and got to my hotel (I got slightly lost but managed to find my way) it was 10:30 p.m. and I was wiped so I went to bed. I'm planning on a full day of sightseeing in Paris on Sunday.
