Family Travels
Belgium
Our experience in Belgium is limited to 2 one day trips to
Brugge (from our home base in Beaufort, France) and one
overnight before catching an international flight home.
(we also daytripped there in 1990
without the children to buy fresh chocolate and eat mussels)

But what we saw of Brugge, we loved!
We would love to go back and spend some more time there.

Lace is hand knitted there and a good souvenier buy.
Chocolate is wonderful...and is prized as a fresh commodity
that it is sold dated like cheese
Beer is the best!
and the Mussels....oh, the mussels....are so good!
Even if you have never tried them before (or even if
you have and thought "yuck"--you owe it to yourself to
eat mussels in Belgium
The best way to see Brugge is
by canal boat cruise.
Not real educational, but alot of
fun trying to reach out and touch
the low bridges overhead.
We love this little restaurant cafe...we have eaten here twice
The best mussels in town
Erica loves her side order of the original "french" fry.
