If It's Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium

Actually, we are now in The Netherlands but I need to finish up our stay in Brussels.

Take one down pass it around...Even the tiniest stores feature hundreds of beer varieties.
Toni made fast work of her mussels. 
A famous Belgian waffle,  I think I enjoyed the melted chocolate more than the candies.

This tasted just like cheesecake without the crust, marzipan.

Four foot bagettes only sliced as needed.

You are never more than a block from a chocolate shop.

There are fifty murals of comic strip characters around the city.  This is local hero TinTin and Snowy.

The Comic Strip Museum is housed in an old Art Nouveau warehouse designed by Victor Horta.

We had a kitchenette so Toni shopped like a local.

You probably can't see the dates on these buildings but they are left to right, 1597, 1716, 1697.

Out for a stroll.

With Bert van Kessell, a Village Records customer since the 1990s

Another long time customer from the 1990s, Bruno Depeyper.

The Leonardo Da Vinci exhibit included 70 models brought to life from his sketches.

We returned to the Grand Place to see it lit up at night.
