Aperos Urbains

Well guess what? Suddenly the sun is out. You never know, maybe event the beach is an option. Personally I opted for the Aperos Urbains, a Friday only event. Organized in a different location every Friday, Aperos Urbains is bringing together people, wine, beer, mini cheeses for a fun afternoon. All in the open air.

EuroFeria 3

How right anonymous - of course all that was missing from the EuroFeria photo diary was the food and the wine. Food from all parts of Spain, and then some more from South America was served - and some mean mojitos!

EuroFeria 1

Besides local elections, Brussels also hosted the EuroFeria Andaluza this past weekend. Started in 1992 by the Andalusian community in Brussels, EuroFeria was initially a fair of Andalusian and Spanish traditions, dance, and food.

In the meantime the fair extended to other countries and regions of the world. However flamenco singing and dancing, and horse shows stayed again at the center of this years EuroFeria. The location where it all took place? The Atomium.

Russian Church

Something different for today. I keep writing about the diversity of Brussels, but rarely photograph it. Here an example: the Russian Orthodox Church in Uccle.

In a Novgorod style, the church was built by Russian Revolution refugees between 1936 and 1939 in memory of Tsar Nicolas II. Notice the wonderful roof details.

Boudin Blanc vs Boudin Noir

How many of your started the diet yet? I know I tend to start the year with a new diet and new resolutions. Maybe I'll keep them this year as well.

Just in case you haven't yet said good-bye to all the delicious (calorie full) food, then let me introduce you to a Belgian speciality and delicacy: the Boudin Blanc and the Boudin Noir. Personally I tend to favour the Boudin Blanc. But I'll let you decide for yourselves. Bon appetit.

Thank you to Denton from Greenville DP who is helping the Brussels DP while I am abroad.
