From Belgium, well nourished.

Finally recovering from Internet and sleep deprivation, we've finished three days of European Law training with Seton Hall students and retreated to an Inn in the Ardennes that specializes in extravagent gourmet repasts. In anticipation of tonight's tasting menu, we are planning a long hike in the mountains today. In Brussels, the Museum of Musical Instruments, pictured in Sylvan's post was a highlight, particularly the exhibitions about how they were built. Then, I'm not sure Sylvan described the restrooms in the Belga Queen where we had dinner. Yes, the restrooms. Men and women share wash basins, but the other areas are separate. Surprising the individual stalls are all glass, clear glass. Everyone looks around and thinks "I'm supposed to go in there and do what?" But, very cool, as you lock the door, the glass turns opaque. Whew! Neat.

It is Saturday and I am looking forward to a stroll in the mountains. More later.
