I don't think I will ever get used to the feeling of having so many friends constantly move away from Brussels. Seeing them have to pack up their things, iron out unknowns in the next location and say lots of goodbyes is always a good reminder to enjoy every single moment I have here.
After having recently heard of several people moving, I decided to sign up for tour of downtown Brussels just to make sure I really knew the city I was living in. It was nice to learn about things I hadn't realized before. But the best part of the tour was having my camera with me all day and getting the chance to take pictures of my every day life. I once read that you should take a picture of every single car you own because each picture will bring back lots of memories. I definitely adhere to that mindset. Kyle and I laugh that we each have a very distinctive style of photography and you can always tell which of us took a certain picture. Here is a hint: if there are people in it or it has to do with daily life, I took it. If the photo focuses on architecture or a statue, Kyle took it.

Today was Car Free Sunday in Brussels. Yes, you read that right -- the only cars allowed to drive from 9 am to 7 pm are ones that registered for a permit, ambulances, police, and taxis. I never realized how many people in Brussels owned bikes until today! As much as I enjoyed the day, it did get a bit crazy to have so many bikers, pedestrians, rollerbladers, and strollers taking over the street and not following any rules.
