Brussels

Today we are in Brussels. Arrived at about 1pm and started sight-seeing right away. Went to the Museum of Fine Art where they have a huge collection of paintings and sculptures. Then walked around a ton of other sites until we made our way to the Grand Place (main square) and all the surrounding little streets of shops and restaurants. This is really a great area and we just walked around a lot, bought some chocolate, then had dinner at a cool little restaurant with traditional Belgian food and then a Belgian waffle. This time we had a waffle with strawberries, bananas, whipped cream and chocolate...it was delicious but really messy to eat while we were walking home! Light rain off and on today but nothing much, only brought out the umbrella tonight on the walk home to our hotel - the Conrad Hilton on Avenue Louise, which is sort of like Michigan Avenue (same stores as South Coast Plaza). Tomorrw we head out after breakfast for a Noon flight home. It's been a great trip!
