Flight here and first stop

Whoa. I don't think it was this hard to keep moving last time we flew to Europe. There were small children nearby on both flights this time. I am sympathetic and glad they get to go home/visit Europe too - but we got very little sleep on the plane.

That is enough griping, however, parce que nous sommes a Bruxelles! We got our little Peugot 208 and made it to our B&B. Vicki always worries when she picks a place, but this time she knocked it out of the park. It is awesome, across the street from a park, and our host, Brigitte, is warm and welcoming.







We also saw Manneken Piss, which gets new costumes regularly. I have to say that he was much smaller than we anticipated. The nearby chocolate shops had chocolate models of him that were more life-sized.




Had beef tartare for the first time. Good, but nothing to blog about. Good hot waffle and a good beer.
