Where do we start with Belgium? The mussels in Brussels or the rouge in Brugge...(note: neither of those things actually happened but) We did however, enjoy some crunchy, slimy, can't hardly look at while eating, mussels in Brugge while touring around this quaint city with Phillip (our exchange student from years past who now lives in Montage). Greit and Phil took us all around Brussels and shared many beers and laughs with us. Note the photos with Phil, Greit and Manneken draped with Belgium flag.
Everything, even chocolate, is made in the shape of the little peeing boy called Manneken Pis. He is famous in Brussels and we went to see him along with everyone else. My favorite time in Belgium was enjoying a Belgium dinner with Philip's family. We met his brothers and his mom and dad. There were 4 languages spoken at the table and much of the time we had no idea what was being said. Philip's dad speaks primarily French, the others speak Flemish, English, Spanish and whatever else. We just smile and nod. We did beer tasting and I am afraid I may have given everyone my cold, since we shared the same glasses all around the table. Good times in Belgium. We are off to Germany....
