Atomium

Let me start by saying,

    What the?!!!
    Did you know about this?!
    Brussels has building made of giant silver balls?!  Built in the 1950's no less.

Apparently, this was the centerpiece of the 1958 World's Fair and was never intended to be a permanent building.  But as all things which are COMPLETELY MADE OF STEEL go, it is pretty tough and shows no signs of wear.


Standing over 300 feet tall, it had the fastest elevator in the world at one time, and here are the views from the top.


But you can go from room to room using the stairs, like some giant human habitrail.


I know.  This has nothing to do with the beer tour, so let's get back to business.

Final stop -- Random Walking.
