Word of the day: Mosselen (Mussels)
Today we drove about an hour from our place to Brussels where we planned to spend the afternoon and evening. We walked thru the town square, Grand Place, which was packed as was the entire city! Not sure if it is typically like this, but we were not expecting this at all. Once out of the square we headed over to the popular statue Maneken Pis. (Today he was dressed up for the Paralympics.Though not sure why??)
Across from the statue was one of the many Belgium Chocolate shops, and this one so happened to be Godiva which had delicious looking chocolate covered strawberries in the window, so we HAD to stop in and have some! We also enjoyed a truffle filled with champagne. Soooooo GOOD!!!! We then ducked into a tiny pub on the corner to get out of the crowds and enjoyed a few drinks. And then onto dinner where Steve enjoyed a local favorite... Mussels.
Till next time...
