Belgian water....it always comes in a glass bottle.

My first meal in Brussels. Smoked salmon, mushroom pasta. Super yum-time.


The above two pictures are of World Cup fans that were hangin' out around town. I went around to the different bars and took pictures of the different bars and their affiliations. The streets were full of people wearing their favored flags....nothing but....

The view outside our hotel balcony.....at 10:00pm. The sun doesn't set until a little after 10:00pm here.

A view from inside our hotel room. Fart Machine at my computer.

Your traditional Belgian street, nice and cozy.

Nice ones, Chubbs. Glad you're able to post. A tip on posting pics from a slow internet connection:

Open a photo you're wanting to post online, and click on IMAGE and then IMAGE SIZE. This will show you how big your photo dimensions.

Where it says PIXEL DIMENSIONS click on one of the height or width tabs (doesn't matter which) that say PIXELS. Change it to PERCENT and type in how much you want to shrink the photo down. I usually type in "50," resizing the pics to half the size.

This action gives the pics a lot smaller file size and it's much faster to upload with a slow connection.

Then, when doing a SAVE AS on the resized pics, you can also set the quality to number 8 (it's a scale 1-12). You don't really need anything higher than 8 for the web anyway and this will further speed things up.

But anyway, just little tips from the Chubster.

Keep the pics coming.

More food shots...please...
