Jim’s Perspectives:

Have been to Belgium several times while in Europe. Drove by the Grand Place, the Palais de Justice, the European Parliament building and then had dinner enjoying some amazing food and cold beer.

It’s impossible to visit Belgium without enjoying it’s rich culture of chocolates and waffles as I did in 2022!

One fun fact about is that Belgian men are the second tallest in the world measuring on average over 5’9″.
