This is where it will all begin. Brussels. A wonderful city with an old section that dates back to medieval times. And it is magic at night, even if it is raining as it was last year. The history of Europe starts to come alive as we are surrounded by these magnificent old buildings. There are also great places to get Belgium waffles and hot chocolate. Part of the education, and a lot of the fun of international travel is trying the local delicacies. Lucky for us, in Belgium that means chocolate, chocolate and chocolate.

we will be getting on that plane at JFK and heading to our first stop in Brussels. I can almost taste the chocolate! And what an exciting time to be there with all that is going on in Belgium and with the 10th anniversary of the Euro.
