Mussels in Brussels

On Sunday morning we drove to Brussels. Though the city is not as charming as Amsterdam, it has its share of gorgeous squares and charming crooked streets. But, for me the highlight of Brussels was the festival of eating and drinking it offers at every turn. What could be better then a city known for chocolate, waffles, beer, and mussels?

I loved the waffle wagons on the street, ogled over the windows of the chocolate shops, and enjoyed sitting in a pub and having the waiter suggest his favorite beers for a round or two. Dinner here was also a highlight – mussels followed by lobster, clams, and more mussels.
