A week in Belgium.

I’m not sure when Belgium first showed up on my radar. It may have been the moules frites I had at a Belgian restaurant in NYC with a Trappist monk theme, or the movie In Bruges, but it’s a place that had been low-key on my mind for a little while.

I’ve also fallen into a pattern of visiting Europe for a week on my way back to the States from Africa, and this time was no different, having just finished three months in southern Africa, of which my time in Namibia stands out.

Belgium also seemed like a perfect place to spend a month. I could visit the main cities without feeling overly rushed; the distances weren’t great, and the long days proved to allow for extended viewing hours.
