1. Amazing
free live music at Brussels Jazz Marathon: Tribute to Etta James at the Grand
Place. It was colder than winter, but I’m grateful it didn’t rain!
2. There
was a guy wearing a red bandana, big moustache and a quilt and he totally
rocked, dancing non-stop. At some point he even took his shirt off (!) and
found a moustache buddy to dance with.
3. An
old couple hugging and swaying to the sound of jazz. I totally want to be like
that when I’m grey-haired!
4. There
was a girl standing in front of us during the show. She was alone the whole
time. When the band wrapped up and she started walking to the back, a boy held
her arm and asked: “Excuse me, would you like to have a coffee?”. It was right
in front of me and I couldn’t help listening. It was so out-of-the-blue! She
said: “Mmm, maybe… where?” and they walked away. I was left trying to picture
how it was, if they had a nice time and if that would lead to something.
5. We
stumbled upon a bagel place! We’ve been talking about bagels for a while and
how unusual it is here in Belgium. We were looking for a place to eat and
trying not to end up at a kebab/fries joint and Rachel bagels magically
appeared. We had chicken, bacon, cheese filled bagels with salad and fried
potatoes on the side. I almost couldn’t finish my plate, the ingredients were
so fresh and delicious and the menu was super fun (Breakfast at Tiffany’s,
Chicken Run, Speedy Gonzales, Nicole Guacamole, etc).
It's simple to find joy :)

How funny, I live now quite nearby Bruxelles and I was there already a couple of times. We found also the place Rachel's. And we still want to eat once there, because it is also funny that it is my name. I also went to the Jazz-marathon and I thought the atmosphere in whole Bruxelles was great! Sweet, the story about the girl who was alone and the boy who talked to here. Rachel
Thanks for the feedbak and I hope you're enjoying Belgium. You should definitely try the bagels :)
