Brussels, Gluttony city!

This is a city that's betting on complete lack of will power. Every street boasts at least a couple of waffle shops, more still of cookies and even more dedicated to the pursuit of chocolate fantasies. The scent of freshly made waffles wafts through the streets--it's not fair!!

Joe couldn't resist this selection of Middle Eastern-style cookies. 

These neat and orderly confections appeal to the serious and sedate chocoholic.

These giant rafts of nutty bark fill a window.

This colorful,  art nouveau facade appeals to the chocolate lover, who is also an art historian.

Believe me when I say that it takes a very determined person to consciously avoid all the sinful and gorgeously presented delicacies that are here to tickle the senses and strip the wallets.

A window full of waffles awaits a gluttonous passerby. Here, this is street food--meant to be eaten outdoors as one window shops for other goodies. Just thinking about all the sugary options makes me have to unbutton the top button of my pants.

Is it possible to get fat by osmosis??!!
