Mussels (and Chocolate) in Brussels

We took a day trip (from Germany) to Brussels, Belgium, home to NATO, the EU, world-famous mussels, and world-famous chocolate. We sampled the chocolate and mussels: exquisitely delicious. The photos are of the market square down town Brussels, which was decorated for Christmas. The building with the renovation screens was a place Karl Marx famously had coffee while writing his missives. The building with the festive lights on it was part of a Christmas (we suppose) light show....I say we suppose, because the decorations were for Christmas, but the music played was a song from Wayne's World. Go figure!
