[Leica] Belgium's national day

[Adam Bridge]

Yum!

I did happen to know that this was Belgium’s national day - because of the Tour de France coverage! Cycling can be broadening! :-)

Belgium is high on my list for a visit in the next few years.

Thank you!

But having lived as an adult in Denmark, USA, Belgium, Switzerland, the Netherlands and now Spain, I must say that of those six countries, Belgium had the best quality of life, all things considered, and I immensely enjoy my frequent trips back to Brussels. No, I am not moving back there, but I sometimes still regret my decision to take a job in Switzerland back in 2000.
