Seven days, seven countries-

Well, we survived. We drove back from Brugges through Brussels to stop at the Atominium (world's fair 1958 display) and to see the statue of the boy taking a pee. We saw Waterloo, just south of Brussels. Then we drove a little out of our way to hit Luxembourg and France on the way home. Seven days, seven countries. Technically, we left on a Friday and returned on a Friday, so it was eight. But we basically started our trip from Hamburg on Saturday morning... We considered driving over to Austria, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, and Italy today to go for 11 countries in eight days, but even we are not quite that nuts.

Friday and Monday were both holidays. I had some stuff to do, so I was in the office all of Saturday to catch up. Too bad the weekends are the good times to work when nothing is there demanding attentions.

We did stop in Brussels and pick up a case of fine Belgium beers. Andi likes them now, so she will help me do some more reviews (I hope).

St. Bernardus Abt 12: Andi says: "Some aftertaste. Stringent. Not as good as some others we tasted." Fine, but not great.
