Despite the ridiculous amount of chocolate shops in Belgium, we (my sister, her good friend, and I) actually spent more time overindulging in frites, mussels, and beer.  Some of it was good and some of it was bad, but coupled with all of the sites and good company, the overall experience was wonderful.
