So, just like I never really talked about work, I realized that I didn't mention much about this little country where I've been living.
I showed you my first day of tourism and my adventures in Bruges (has anyone seen the movie?)
Now here's a bit more of the trouble I've gotten myself into.
All around town
 |
| View of the city from the overlook outside the Palace du Justice (courthouse) 12th century church on the left, spire of Grote Markt on the right, and a tiny lighted Atomium, far in the background in the center |
 |
| Manneken Pis He only gets dressed for special occasions. |
 |
| A pita/kebab place made just for me |
 |
| They seem to like him here |
 |
| Pretty realistic, huh? |
 |
| Anyone recognize TinTin? Originally a Belgian comic, he has a new movie coming out in the Fall. FYI, the Smurfs is originally Belgian, too. I LOVE The Smurfs!! |
Fiesta at the Marine house

| A couple of my friends from the Local Guard Force |
 |
| Me wearing the sombrero. It matched my outfit. |
Belgium National Day, July 21st
Military Parade
 |
| These are the guys that escort our cars when we're going somewhere important. Their driving skills are impressive! |
 |
| It started raining at the beginning of the parade and stopped right at the end. Typical Belgium :) |
 |
| Salute |
 |
| I got a thumbs up! Can you see it? |
Gent, Belgium
 |
| Climbing the belfry tower |
 |
| View from the top of the belfry |
The Atomium
 |
| If Grand Place isn't the landmark of Brussels, this is definitely it. |
