| We passed through Brussels, the capital of the European Union. We tried out a variety of Belgian waffles (the stroopwafel shown here), |
 |
| "French Fries" (which actually originated in Belgium), and great beer. We may have left town with a bag of Belgian chocolates also, but any evidence of that has been destroyed. |
 |
| We took in the architectural beauty of the city's main square, La Grand Place. |
 |
| And we saw the Atomium, built for the 1958 World Fair. |
 |
| No tour of Brussels would be complete without a stop at the famous landmark Manneken Pis. Last week, we found him clothed, dressed in costume. |
 |
| But he was a real hit with the kiddos -- perfect for our ongoing discussion on potty training. |
