Friday night in Belgium




Last night we went out for dinner in Belgium with Kris whom we met at the tent last week at the Tour of Flanders. He has a nice Pub and invited us to have dinner at his place, we told him make us traditional food fair which was absolutely fantastic. The main ingredient in every course was beer, we had something like 7 different kinds. Our first course was North Sea shrimp, second was fresh in season white asparagus with egg and butter and a side fresh bread, third was Belgium Endive's wrapped in ham with a cheese sauce I managed to down three of them the other two were only able to get two down their gullets. Desert was good, very good, fantastic and delicious but after some seven or eight beers I don't seem to remember what it was.

I was up before everyone this morning and down to the boulangerie at 8:30 where they seemed to be out bageuttes and after waiting 2 minutes they brought me out a hot just out of the oven one, came home made my omelet and sat out on the back porch enjoying a beautiful sunny morning.

This afternoon off to more pavé and to the velodrome with our tour guide Peter Schouten.

I guess you guys have to ride the entire race course and back, to shake off that yummy Belgian "diet". Hey why don't you leave your bike behind and instead pack some beer for poor souls back home?
