Bill Visits Brussels Again!

Bob's childhood friend, Bill, came for another visit to Brussels.  He and his wife, Pam, came to see us last spring on their way to Amsterdam.  This time Bob and Bill got to live it up at the famous bar, Delirium Cafe.  If Bill has a worried look on his face it is because he has just realized he forgot to pack pants.  This was a Sunday and no clothing stores are open on Sundays.  Bill and I took a little field trip the next morning to our equivalent to Kohl's and found him some acceptable pants that he could wear for the rest of the week while he worked in France.  He probably paid triple what the pants would have cost at Kohl's so I hope he wears them again.  Bill, I am sure you will look very fashionable in your "Europe Pants" when you are back in your US office!!
Bill arrived on the early flight that every US traveler takes.  It has become a tradition for us to serve a big breakfast to our weary friends.  It also gives me a chance to use my lovely Polish Pottery.  Picture eggs, bacon and hash browns filling some of those bowls and platters


Call us crazy, but on this particular afternoon, we took the twins with us to the Delirium Cafe. Yes it is a bar and they made me promise to keep this picture off of Facebook.  They were so embarrassed.  Delirium is more of a tourist destination than a bar so we figured there wasn't much to worry about.  In Belgium you can drink when you are 16.  In case you were wondering, Jenn and Leah had a Sprite.  The rest of us "over 16 year olds" had a nice cold Belgian beer.
