Nunsense begins when the Little Sisters of Hoboken discover that their cook, Sister Julia, Child of God, has accidentally poisoned 52 of the sisters, and they are in dire need of funds for the burials.

Here we meet Reverend Mother Regina, a former circus performer; Sister Mary Hubert, the Mistress of Novices; a streetwise nun from Brooklyn named Sister Robert Anne; Sister Mary Leo, a novice who is a wannabe ballerina; and the delightfully wacky Sister Mary Amnesia, the nun who lost her memory when a crucifix fell on her head.

Brussels is not just known for these things but for some of the BEST things - waffles, chocolate, beer, and fries. You can find all of these treats in abundance in Brussels. There are also many traditional Belgian restaurants that serve dishes such as steak tartare, mussels, and French fries.Fun fact - what we Americans refer to as French fries actually originated in Belgium. So we should be calling them BELGIAN fries…. although that doesn't have the same ring as French fries, does it? Brussels has something to offer to everyone! Here are some of the top things to do in the city.Visit the Grand Place: It is one of the most iconic attractions in Brussels. This large public square is surrounded by stunning baroque buildings filled with cafes, restaurants, and shops. The Grand Place is also home to the daily flower market, which is a great spot to pick up some souvenirs.Walk the Parc Du Cinquantenaire: this stunning park has a U-shaped complex made up of two museums - the Auto World Vintage Car Museum and the Royal Museum of the Armed Forces and Military History. This structure was built in 1880 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Belgian independence. Tour the Atomium and Mini-Europe: The Atomium is a giant model of an iron crystal that was built for the 1958 World's Fair. It stands 102 meters high and is a popular attraction in Brussels. You can take an elevator to the top and enjoy a panoramic view of the city. It was one of my favorite sites! And you can also tour Mini-Europe, which is right next to the Atomium. You get a tour of reproductions of the most famous monuments of each country in the EU. Explore the Cathedrals: Brussels is home to several beautiful cathedrals, including the Notre Dame du Sablon, Saint Michel, Notre Dame du Finistère, and the National Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Koekelberg. These churches offer a stunning display of Gothic architecture and are a must-see for any visitor.One of the things I love about Brussels is the train/bus/tram system.
