Brussels street art and chasing Tintin

Brussels, the home of Hergè, the author of Tintin, feels like a comic book in that the buildings are too perfectly created and there is amazing comic art all over the city. Not the Marvel kind, the European kind full of stories, history and an adventurous life in a real life setting. I grew up reading Tintin and Asterix and walking around was amazing. I picked up a Tintin map and explored the streets visiting places that were in the books, places that inspired locations and galleries and museums dedicated to these magical books. Such a good experience and my friend had her original childhood books in French for me to read through. Man, such a good time here in a short stay in Brussels.
