To top off our European travels, Suzi and I headed over to Brussels, Belgium.
This was definitely a huge contrast from any other European country we had been to yet. It is a very large city with many people and more modern design in the buildings. Although many buildings of the older style of architecture are still to be found, the majority of places have a different feel.
We made sure to ask the concierge the best route to see many of the historical sites and shopping hot spots as we only had one day passing through on our way back to London. He gave us an excellent map that we followed, and on foot we were able to see what the city was all about.
The Palace, the St. Michael's Cathedral where the Pope frequents, we had ‘pomp frits’(French fries originated in Belgium) and of course Belgium Waffles!! WOW, so many good eats came from Belgium it amazes me.
At the end of the night we got spiffed up and headed over to a delectable French-Italian restaurant for the most delicious dishes in all of Brussels. There we were even treated like celebrities! Our journey through this city was definitely a fun travel!
