A Jazz Bar, State Rooms, and a Museum

Last night we found a cozy underground jazz bar/pub. It was an
intimate stone vaulted cellar with dim lighting, candelight and jazz
music. A perfect escape from the cold night air.

Wednesday we went back to Wawel Castle to tour the State Rooms, which
were full of French and Flemish tapestries, detailed and heavy Italian
wooden chests and tables, portaits and scuptures, and Persian
carpets. Items dated from the 13th - 19th centuries. The State Rooms
are on the second floor of the castle complex surrounding a central
courtyard.

Grabbed some street food for lunch - a zapiekanka to share - which is
basically a pizza baguette topped with a roasted ketchup sauce. It's
supposedly the quintessential street food of the Jewish quarter. We
ate it on a bench in the main square where children (and adults) fed
thousands of pigeons!

We arrived back to Brussels late yesterday evening.

...and we made it. Yay! In Brussels seeing the sights.
