Five of the nine spheres are open to the public with one being a permanent exhibition to the Expo 58. When we were on top, you could see all over Brussels. Some told us we could see till Antwerp (but since weve never been there, we'll have to take their word for that.
Next, we decided to try to find a brewery our daughter told us about, the Cantillon Brewery. This family brewery will soon celebrate its centenary and is still independent. It is the last traditional brewery in Brussels. We had a tour and then a tasting. Here are some of the pics.
Bill wanted to take this barrel home but he couldn't afford the shipping.
Lou, I took this for you. This is one of the most important places in the brewery process, the cooling tun room. In the middle of the room is a large vessel in red copper. Every part of it is riveted, not welded. I'm sure you could make one for us!
We ended our day with a pasta meal in Grand Place. I've shown you some night pics before but we can't get enough of the grandeur of this place, particularly at night.

Way too much fun at the brewery!! :) Lou said bring home the specs. The buildings look very cool at night. Looks like you are having a "grand" time.
Take care.

We really did have a great time. It was so different from anything we have seen up to this point. The lights of Grand Place made everything seem so etheral
