Belgium 2012

I've been back for about two weeks and my, how time flies!  Before time completely escapes me, I wanted to pop in and share the highlights of my trip to Antwerp.

BUT it isn't all hard work...we did get some sightseeing in!  Tomorrow I will come back and show you some of the beautiful sights in Ghent and Amsterdam.  And I will also be doing a post on shopping in Antwerp, which I know will be entertaining for some of you shoppy souls out there.  Last year I took you on a culinary tour of everything I ate.  This year my pictures were just so lacking...I think because everything I ate looked like this:

YUM.

See ya tomorrow!
