Antwerp, Belgium ...Back
 
Adam, Rick, Patti, and I drinking our Belgian cappuccinos. What makes them Belgian? Well, because that's where we bought them. I'm pretty sure the beans were Columbian.

Most of the places we visted in Antwerp were not very crowded. However, turn the corner onto this street and it is bustling with people roaming around.
