Welcome to the 2023 Edition of Molly’s Road Show Blog!
As we return to our travels and process living with Covid-19, please keep yourself safe and follow local health guidelines. As the world continues to rebound from pandemic conditions, remember to be flexible, supportive, and cheerful. We all want to travel safely and well!
This month, we are taking a deeper look at travel in Flanders, the northern half of Belgium. If you are looking for great food, fascinating history, and European culture, as well as easy accessibility to the region, Flanders is for you!
Wander Wednesday

Belgian Chocolate is arguably the best in the world. Locals have their favorite chocolatier, perhaps the venerable Mary or Neuhaus or the more contemporary Laurent Gerbaud. Try the popular praline with hazelnut or fudge filling or the solid pieces topped with dried fruits or nuts. I’ve made both kinds in classes in Brussels and Bruges, and I highly recommend the experience. If you like chocolate, don’t miss an opportunity to try it here. This photo is from the Choco Story Museum in Bruges, telling the story of chocolate from bean to bar and beyond.
