Subject: Re: Belgium
I just wanted to chime in (for what it's worth) to say that I too am very fond of Belgium (Beer Paradise). My first trip to Europe included several days in Belgium, traveling from Flanders to the Ardennes and I really enjoyed everything about it. I found great pleasure in soaking up the scenery and the hospitality. On the last day of the trip, Leuven was a wonderful place to stay for access to the Brussels airport. It is a very lively college town with an absolutely amazing town hall (16th c?). If you're interested, check out http://www.trabel.com/leuven/leuven.htm. Of course, the people in Belgium were great. Whether Flemish or Walloon, they are all proud to be Belgian. Oh, and of course, I also enjoyed stops at three of the Trappist monasteries where they brew those fine Belgian beers. :-))).
