Back in Brussels. It’s our last day and we went to the Musee de Beaux Arts. We saw the most beautiful paintings, some of which I never thought I would ever see in person like David’s “Death of Murat” and a wonderful “Magritte” collection. They had an incredible collection of Dutch and Flemish Masters also.

After that we roamed the streets of Brussels looking in the shop windows. We stopped in at a few chocolate shops and sampled the wares, and of course had to stop for BELGIAN WAFFLES! Topped with caramel syrup and whipped cream, they were delicious. On a sugar high we finally went back to the Metropole Hotel to our room to make sure our ride to the airport was all set.

We had dinner at the beautiful Metropole Café and a last champagne for me in the outdoor seating area watching the people go by. It has been a wonderful time here, and we hate to leave. The last of the photos are snaps of some of the things on the Grand Place that I thought most beautiful.
