| Belgium isn't at the top of the priority list for most American visitors to Europe but perhaps it should be. Regina had been there a few times on business and we'd taken a short side-trip there in late 2001. So, we knew that there was a lot to see within a very small radius and more time spent there would be well rewarded. We weren't disappointed. Even after 6 nights in Brussels and one night in Bruges -- with a scenic day-trip to Luxembourg -- there was never a dull moment. Actually, we hope to come back again. | ||

| Ron took this shot of the Grand'Place at night. In the larger view the crescent moon is visible. | Us on the Grand'Place in Brussels - after four centuries, still THE spot in Brussels to eat, shop, see and be seen. | A street scene in Luxembourg.
Sidewalk cafes were common, good and costly. |

| A beer shop in Bruges with hundreds on display. We wonder why there are comparatively so few kinds of beer in the US. | The view from our room at the Marriott, our first hotel in Brussels. The stock exchange (La Bourse) is at right.
