Today we are back in Antwerp at our family's home, relaxing before the wedding. Tonight we will be dining at the Bernardin Restaurant with family, but today we are going bier and chocolate shopping!
Shopping List:
Rochefort Trappistes 6
Rochefort Trappistes 8
Rochefort Trappistes 10
Chimay, (Very Affordable)
Duvell
Orval
Westmalle Dubbel
and any other bier that catches my eye.
I notice the usual suspect in most grocery type stores, Duval, Chimay, Jupiler, Stella, Leffe and on. A large selection of the beer aisle changes in each region of Belgium, if you see a beer you want, go ahead and pick it up, good chance you might not find it again.
Dinner was great, beautiful outdoor setting in a courtyard in the shadow of the Saint James Church. After dinner, We drove to the main square in Antwerp and enjoyed drinks in an outdoor cafe, underneath the Cathedral of Our Lady. George pointed out that one tower is shorter than the other, he says the urban legend of the towers is that the tall one was funded by the people and the short one was funded by the government. There was some sort of festival going on so the square was full of people and lots of activity. With the Catherdral being closed the outside spotlights made an interestng back drop for a street performer posing as a statue. Tonight we will sleep well.
The seating for this establishment is in an outdoor courtyard, in the shadow of a cathedral, awesome setting.
