We had a beautiful snow a few weeks ago.  I ran out with the camera to take photos as it does not snow here very often.  I sent a few to my mom and she commented that our Blogs are about all of our travels and she never realized how beautiful it is in our own back yard.  So, here you go……our neighborhood in the snow.

The Grande Place – a 20-minute walk from our apartment.  The trees were left from the Christmas decorations.  The center is usually a big open space where they hold markets, festivals, musical events, etc.

More of a "dusting" of snow.  But it stayed around for 5 days, they said that is the longest they have had snow on the ground in 20 plus years.

The cathedral – about a 5 min walk from our apartment.

This park is directly across from the cathedral.

A sculpture in another park.  We have many parks within 5 minutes of our apartment.

This is just down the hill from us.  It is one of the paths we take when we walk to the city center.

I guess we forget how beautiful Brussels is as we walk these streets everyday!
