But believe me, there are some pretty awful places near the Grand'Place in Brussels.<br /><br />Chm, I will - they really enjoyed our lunch in Paris! Hope you had a safe trip and have recovered from the jetlag.<br /><br />Susan, Mats and Vera say 'hello and thanks'.<br /><br />Virginia, I've known this restaurant for years and only had positive feedback. So I know it is 'safe' to recommend it.<br /><br />Craig, If you and Clive ever stop over in Brussels, I'll gladly give you the address.<br /><br />Bob, M&M are a big hype in Belgium especially with the 30-35 generation. When they visit NY, the M&M store is a must on their to-see-list. More even than the statue of Liberty.<br /><br />Gaynor, I know. I was really sorry too, but it came at a really bad moment. I'll give them you regards!<br /><br />Ken, I hope to visit the Loire Valley with them in 2014 or 2015 ... but you may see me much sooner than that :)!ladybirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05690656561242165157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7297241541767981823.post-23652035146504852442013-04-21T13:54:24.088+02:002013-04-21T13:54:24.088+02:00Yes, my good memories to Matts and Vera as well.
