A few pictures from Brussels

One of two covered shopping street.

 
Chocolates galore.  Everyother shop was a chocolate store.

 This little guy named appropriately, The Pisor, is the town mascot.  This little statue draws a  crowd and is often dressed in costume, even back in the 1600's.  We were surprised he was not in a Halloween getup.

 

 The street vendors either sold escargot or waffles .... see picture #3 to see which I chose to partake in.



On our next trip we will eat at this restaurant.  While we sat outside enjoying our waffles, we watched the chef of this establishment work in his 3rd floor kitchen.


Lovleigh lady in a pretty park.

Another beautiful street.

Beautiful Buildings on the Grand Palace Sqaure
