Brussels, Paris, and Breda

Some kind of arch built by King Leopold, I think. Sorry, I am not doing so well with remembering details of this trip.
I went on this Art Nouveau walking tour that was in my guidebook. I know you can't see it very well, but this house had really pretty windows.
And this house is really cool. It's the Maison Paul Gauchie and I really loved it. I wish I lived in it.
Close-up.
Remember when I went to the Stars of Europe concert? This was the stage.
This is a cathedral right by my hotel that I walked past everyday to get to work. I did go in one day - it was pretty. I think it's called St Giles and St Michel.
This was my dinner one night... yum.
Notre Dame in Paris on a grey and rainy day.
We kept seeing men in kilts that day in Paris... we didn't know why.
I have never seen this fountain (St Michel) without a crowd in front of it, so I took a picture! Apparently rain + Sunday morning = people do not go hang out in front of St Michel Fountain. This is also in Paris.
I met Robert in Breda, in the Netherlands, one Saturday. We visited this place. I honestly can't remember what it's called... Robert? The Bagganage? It's where semi-nuns lived a religious life. We went to the museum and everything, and it was really fascinating. Although neither one of us knows what "home care" means.
Anyway, these semi-nuns (they took vows but they aren't quite nuns for some reason) lived in this lovely courtyarded building as a community.
Now, the lovely courtyarded community is inhabited by women, who are not necessarily religious, but they are single.
A very cute little house in the lovely courtyard. We weren't really sure but maybe this is where the priest lived.
Grand Place. This was very near my hotel.
