Car Free Sunday in Brussels

Apple Juice stalls
This Sunday in Brussels was the annual car free day. As per usual there were lots of activities organised in the city to celebrate with a particular healthy lifestyle theme. The streets were filled with shiny bikes, children drawing in chalk on the roads and general merriment. My favourite part of this years celebrations were the young white guys rapping about the environment and the Lithuanian folk dancing near Manneken-Pis. The festival also featured Bug Food Gastronomy which presented daring customers with either a platter of grasshoppers or chocolate lollipops covered in meal worms. I went with the latter option and thoroughly regretted it afterwards. There were alot of cheese stands at this festival and it sure does not help with quesiness to inhale the aroma of blue cheese after gulping down maggots on a sticks! And with that wonderful image I will leave you!
