After our "chocolate outlet adventure" we went into Brussels and visited another Chocolate Museum. Next, we went in search of Manneken Pis, which we were told that everyone had to see. This is a small statue of a little boy urinating - It is like the Mona Lisa. Everybody goes there to get a picture, but it is not a very big statue. There are several stories about the statue - most of them either give the little boy credit for putting out a fire or being lost, and all the town's people went looking for him. When he was found, he was urinating in the fountain.
Next we visited St. Michael's church, which had nativities from several different countries.
"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manager." Luke 2:11-12
