We arrived Friday afternoon in Brussels with good friends, for a short break weekend getaway. Brussels is the capitol of Belgium and at 1.8 million, is Belgium's largest city. Since WW 2 this has been the main center of International politics. European Parliament offices and NATO headquarters are found here as well. Belgium currency is the Euro , and the common language is both French and Dutch. Belgium is well known for their chocolates, beer, and the Belgium waffles that you can buy on most any street. Some of the large exhibits still remain from the 1958 Worlds Fair that was hosted here. The weekend was a bit cool but we saw most of the cities historical sights. I needed a few more days to try all those different beer's. Ther never seems to be enough time. I've posted this entire album on facebook.
