Day 12

Let me preface this post by making an admission: I'm drunk, or at least buzzed. A beer at supper, and 3 more at Delerium (including one that was 10.5%) means I'm not 100%.

After getting my last 2 business meetings over with, I went out for a walk in Brussels to get some pictures and explore the city. Grand Place is extraordinary, and I'm glad to have it experienced it at 3 different times of day.

My colleague and I decided to go out for dinner in the "fish market", which limited my choices to a beef stew in a restaurant called "Huitres". It was enjoyable, but I liked the walk down to the statue of the boy peeing (I'll post a picture on FB later) which is famous in Brussels.

Afterwards, we had a Belgium waffle with chocolate and banannas (yum), and then made our way to Delerium. This is a bar with over 2,000 beers, including the favorite of my colleage Gulden Draken, which is 10.5%. I also partook in a cherry beer (imagine a heavier cooler), and a pomegrante wheat beer. Both very tasty, and very buzz-inducing.

Now, I have to go up and pack, since I'm off to Amsterdam tomorrow. I'll have some water to help sober up. It'll be nice to sleep into 9am tomorrow. Brussels is lovely, but I'm glad to be moving on. King, out.
