    Rainy day today, but we're still having fun. It was a good day to not be outside, so we went to the Musical Instruments Museum. It exceeded my expectations. Free headphones let us listen to pretty much every musical instrument ever made. There were flutes made from finger bones from 18,000-12,000 BCE.

    Of course, we had to buy some Belgian chocolates. They lived up to the hype. Also, we had the frites again with our lunch. Well, the Belgians are also wild about mayonnaise. So much so that they serve it with the frites. Oh my, it's good together. The frites are cooked in beef fat and are crispy, and the mayo is flavored with something. The end result is REALLY good.

    Observations of the Day: Before coming we were of the impression that Brussels was not a great tourist town. We're finding it to be a fun place.
