Welcome to Belgium!

 

The flag of Belgium


   BELGIUM!!!!! What a country! I spend how many years in school studying geography and nobody explained Belgium to me.

   The land of beer (for Eddie), lace (for Sheena) and chocolate (for both of us); and the Belgians will speak what ever language you need!

   While living in Dusseldorf, Belgium became one of our favorite quick day trips.

Welcome to Brussels!!!

Date - ...!

   While most of our trips to Belgium were to Brugge, we couldn't miss taking a weekend in to Brussels. While in Brussels, Eddie had to make a quick trip to a stamp dealer that happened to have the $5 value stamp from the U.S. Columbian series of 1898. Considering how much $5 was in 1898, this was quite a rare stamp and completed the Columbian series in his stamp collection.

  Remodeling - Euro style! They preserve the classic exterior architecture while bringing the interior into the modern age. Amazing!   Sheena enjoying a little KFC in the park on the drive back to Germany.   The view of the TBD town from the park.    

Welcome to Brugge!!!

Date - June and November 1999
