Chocolates, Waffles, and Smurfs (Day Fifteen)
... near the Grand Place and he spent a good while there picking out different kinds of chocolates and a box to put them in. They had free samples on the counter, so I got to try a few pieces (I was too cheap to buy any). I walked with him to the train station as I was heading in that direction anyway.
