Some friends came into Brussels on Sunday. Not specifically to see us. They had to be here for business. Nonetheless it was good to see them. It is interesting that when you are showing someone else around, you see the city a little differently than you do when you are by yourself. In our case, it made us realize that we are not very good tour guides. After the third or fourth time responding to a question with, "It's an old church", our friends also realized that we suck as tour guides. We could however, tell them all they wanted to know about the various restaurants and bars. So maybe we make better food critics than tour guides.
Brussels is a good town for showing people around. Even if you are not a particularly good tour guide. There are lots things to see and plenty of interesting places to eat or just sit outside with a drink catching up. So we had a good time showing our friends around and it was a good warm-up for when the in-laws arrive in two weeks.
The last beers from the Durbuy visit were unfortunately a bit of a disappointment. They are three offerings from Durboyse, a Blonde, a Tripel and a Brune. Of the three, the tripel was the best, but still pretty average. As a group, Three Drunk Monks.
