 Like Don Quichotte, me too, I believe in dreams. . , and I dream of Bruxelles, ma belle. . (Dirk Annegarn) since long; it’s close by train for me, and I hope to walk on the footsteps of J. Brel and see what inspired the cartoonists! And the Grand- Place!

 Thanks for filling me in on Brussels. I'm enjoying pages on Brussels and Brugges lately. Think it might be a future destination.

 Hi Luc, thanks for the biking photo. I'm coming to Brussels week after next to see two opera performances at La Monnaie. And of course rent a bicycle. I'm coming by train, of course: Thalys from Cologne.
