Day 8 - Antwerp, Belgium for the day

We're five days deep this morning and off to Antwerp we go. It's early...very, very early. The first thing we discover might be the greatest--at the risk of sounding overly American--Starbucks Coffee at the Antwerp train station. Although the coffee here in Belgium is very good, you just can't get it in any quantity that you can carry around...until you get to Antwerp at least. Anyway, the architecture in the train station is amazing, just look below. The city itself is quite wonderful and the early morning light makes it seem a bit surreal as we strolled down the cobblestone streets towards our first destination...which doesn't open for another hour, so on to Plan B, the Foto Museum of Antwerp. Check the next post for details on the museum and some imagery related to it.
