Antwerp

Had a nice city tour on foot this morning by a young guy who used to be an art student but is now working on his PhD thesis in economics. He had studied for 6 months in Austin Texas some 10 years ago. His English was perfect. The boat is moored right at the city gates(see pics). Walking thru , town, we came to this amazing church home to a number of Rubens paintings. After touring the church we struck out on our own to buy some of Belgiums finest chocolates and then finished it off with a tasty Belgian waffle with fresh strawberries. Yum. Back to the ship and another hearty lunch followed by 2 miles on the treadmill to bring the blood sugar down. Now they want to do tea and snacks at 4 pm and I'll be back on the treadmill.
