Christmas past... actually Jan 2007

When we first arrived to Brussels, our sponsor took us around town. We ended up at what is our favorite place to go for waffles. Right next to it is this building that was full of climbing Santas. Thought I was not going to have a chance to see them again or take a picture of them and here I ran across one when looking at old pictures. I will have another souvenir after all!

On the way to the base...

Thought I would share a couple of pictures of the road to Chievres, it was beautiful, these pictures really do not make justice to the whole scene. The picture in the middle is of some monument to something or another in one of the thousand round abouts that exist in this country. If you click on the picture you will see more details and what I liked the most was that it looked like each grass blade was showing with snow... beautiful!

Night Out

Just a couple of pics from a night out with friends at Pablo's.

Brugge, Belgium

This is probably one of our favorite cities in Belgium, I love going there in the Summer. You can walk in the park by the river or you can ride one of the small tourist boats or just walk through the city looking at all the old buildings and the nice shops where you can find old toys or tapestries or lace thingies. I hope to visit there a couple more times before we leave!

Still cold in Brussels

... and snowing on and off all day today. I still like it here. This is a fountain by our house which in the summer looks very pretty with grass all around it. Some kids got on the edges of the fountain, it is cold but it doesn't look like it is frozen solid. It is not a deep fountain so they wouldn't get very wet but it would be a nasty surprise!

Stone Henge Brussels

This is my picture for the 2nd week of 2009. We were walking home from work one cold winter evening when I discovered this. We live less than a block away from Stone Henge Brussels and we didn't even know it. So, I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Christmas 2008

My two favorite pictures, Bob will be fluent in Spanish by the time we get to Costa Rica in 2010. This will give him something to do while we are in Baghdad. One of my favorite calendars is from Mary Engelbreits. I have it now hanging in the kitchen and it has lots of stuff already, the main thing, marking the day our Andy will come to visit us in May!
