No Car Sunday!

Maxie at Parc du Cinquantenaire last year! Photo taken by Ginnie!!

For one day each year, Brussels has "No Car Sunday", which is basically a day where only emergency vehicles, buses, and taxis are allowed on the roads in the city. What a fantastic idea, right? Yes!! I think they do it to eliminate pollution for 1 day...but who knows, I love it anyway!

My friend, Julie, and I decided since the weather was perfect we had to get out and do something. I wanted to take my bike out, but since Julie does not have a bike, we decided to get out and go for a nice walk.

We decided to walk to Parc du Cinquantenaire, my favorite park in Brussels! If you are a devoted reader of my blog, you may remember this is where I spent last year's No Car Sunday with 2 special friends from Memphis! The weather was a bit cooler than last year, but definitely nice to get out for a LONG stroll. So off we went.

I have no idea how far it is to Parc du Cinquantenaire, but let me tell you...it was a haul...probably an hour there and an hour back, give or take a few minutes (a little slower because we had the dogs who wanted to stop and say hello to everyone we passed!)! It felt so nice to get out, absorb some sun, get some fantastic exercise and just enjoy the day!

Check out all the bikers!

Zsa Zsa is staying with me this weekend while Dan and Pam are traveling, so she enjoyed spending the day in the park, as well! However, all Maxie and Zsa Zsa wanted to do was roll around and act like dogs, imagine that!! It was so funny!

This is Maxie!
And The Zsa!
They LOVE rolling in the grass...
Getting ready! Guess who is getting a bath tonight.... I think everyone is going to sleep well tonight! What a fun day!
