Brussels, Bread and Chocolate

We stayed in Brussels overnight so we could be at Brussels Midi station to board the Eurostar for London. In my old hometown of Moline, Illinois, there is a section known as Belgian Town, with a tavern called the Belgian Inn. At the corner pub near our B&B, the same people were there! Short, dark, plump people, enjoying a beer and a game of dice. Brussels was a rest stop, we did not do a lot of touring, but enjoyed our city stay. Our hostess spoke a little English, we speak very little French, but we managed. For breakfast: a variety of breads and spreads, including a chocolate spread... yum! Beats peanut butter by far!
