Whirlwind Tour of Europe’s Most-famous Sites

Annelies wanted our first full day in Belgium to be interesting, so she planned a special outing for us. A tour of sorts that would provide opportunities for photos of big and famous stuff.

We moseyed around there a bit, taking in things like this little waffle truck.

Belgians don’t eat waffles for breakfast. That’s snack food.

We were hungry for lunch, so we skipped the waffles and chose a little restaurant with some unusual decor.
