We started our European adventure quite early, 3:30am to be exact on our way to JFK for our International flight. After a quick stop in NJ for breakfast with Pop and Grandma, we arrived at the airport with, well, let's just say a lot of time before check in. 
And then ... we were on our way 
Our first stop was Stockel, Belgium - where The Clark's have relocated for a few short years. It was wonderful seeing them and spending time catching up. Stockel is a beautiful, quiet, quaint area right outside Brussels. 
First off we tried yummy frites - which are like french fries but even more delicious!
And some wonderful tarts and treats ...

And then off for a tour of Brussels ... 
First impressions ... 
We had a wonderful tour of the Royal Palace (no photos allowed) and we walked all over to see the Cathedral, the Grand Plaz, and the sights of Brussels. 
Brussels, Belgium - the capital city of the European Nation. Since WWII, it has become the center of International Politics.
Mainly a French speaking nation, with some Flemish. We loved Belgium, and we were spoiled and blessed by our dear friends, the Clarks, from the time we arrived until they escorted us to the train station. Thank you Jean, Craig, Vanessa, Phil, A.C. and Stephen, for your generous hospitality, lavish meals, translating for us (!) and for giving up your beds :)
Next up ... Christiana's birthday in Brugge
