On Thursday, Sheelah arrived for a week-long visit from NYC. And she was just in time to see one of the most famous events in Brussels ... the Flower Carpet. Every other year, for one weekend only, they cover the Grand Place in this amazing carpet of flowers.
On the night it opens (which was this past Thursday), there is a big "opening ceremony." We missed the fireworks display, but we were there to see the light show synchronized with classical music. It was pretty cool ... and pretty lucky that it happened this year so that we were able to see it.
We were trying to figure out how all the flowers remain in place, but when you look closer, you see that it is petals, not full flowers. But again, still no clue how it stays down. That doesn't matter though ... it is still pretty impressive.
