Brussels

After leaving Bruges we made a quick one night stop in Brussels (the unofficial capital of Europe with the European Union Headquarters) before heading to Paris. We hit the ground running covering most of the city in a day. The highlight was visiting the original Godiva and Neuhaus shops on the Grand Place. Dan was also able to add "Eating Mussels in Brussels" to his bucket list

Manneken-Pis. A very famous statue in Brussels. Sometimes the statue is dressed in one of the 700 different costumes that visiting VIPs have brought to him over the years

Dan's mussels in brussels and mixed seafood plate (It cost almost as much as my Mango coat--just kidding--sorta)
