Manneken-Pis



After first arriving in Belgium, our desire was to start our adventures right away. I did not have my camera cords at that time, so I decided to come back to it later on the blog. We had our pictures taken with Manneken-Pis, a very well known fountain here with numerous costumes received as gifts from diplomats around the world. There are a few debates as to the inspiration behind such a sculpture! J acted repulsed that a fountain of a little boy peeing was on the street corner! She absolutely did not want her picture taken with "that peeing boy". She eventually did come around and we, like all the other tourists, took our picture in front of that peeing boy to prove we were actually in Belgium now.
