Music Museum in Brussels

Hi everyone
This is another of my adventures in Brussels. The Music Museum was an amazing experience because they gave this set of wireless headphones at the front desk. Then as you stepped in front of each display you would hear the instrument playing while you read the information card. My favorites were the bagpipes and the mechanical pianos, those are like the players in a little music box but much larger and with a wider range of notes. Then we had lunch on the roof the museum and the views were amazing, the city and the buildings and the food. Yum!

Toy Museum in Brussels

There were three floors of densely packed toys from every era in like new to very well loved condition. My favorite is the dark room where they have the miniature theaters set up, there were hundreds with all kinds of themes from all countries. There were planes hanging form the ceiling and trucks on the walls. Any toys that were in the open were free for the kids to play with, mothers bring their kids here a few times a month to play to their hearts content.

Monterey Bay Trip

I took a lot of video in this Aquarium as well because so many of the fish and even the jelly fish moved so quick it, many times I just got a blurry picture. The one of the spiny crab though came out great, yes I took hat picture all by my self. The town is gorgeous with cute little houses and nice beaches. But the water is cold enough to kill you, so wrap some kelp around you feet. I'm serious whenever I stood in the kelp beds on the beach the waves did not feel as cold, nature's own insulator!
