Today was a much more laid back day. Did more touristy stuff after sleeping in a bit from our busy day yesterday. We all went down to downtown Brussels and just did a lot of walking around. Got some coffee. Did some shopping (we thought we had enough power converters for all of our electronics. We were wrong). Then we continued to wander around town until it was time for lunch.

We decided that we wanted to find a small pub or something of the sort to have a bite to eat, grab a beer and watch the Belgium versus Tunisia World Cup match.  With the United States not making the finals, we decided to adopt Belgium as our team to cheer for during the tournament since this was our first stop in Europe.  Little did we know that we were jumping on the bandwagon for one of the favorites. I looked up and found they were number three in the world rankings going into the World Cup.

Turns out cheering for the Red Devils is a good pick. They are on fire. They won 5-2. The pub we ate at was small but had the nicest waitress (Fanny). We wanted to grab some food and watch the game but apperently we were late for lunch and the cook was off until dinner. While we contemplated our beer and simple snacks order, she apparently figured out a way to get us some hot lunch food cooked up. Not sure if she or the bartender did it but someone cooked us up Belgian style Bangers & Mash, salads and a Bolognese Spaghetti for the group. They were all terrific. Watching the game was a blast among the locals. What a fun afternoon!
