A few photos of Dinant

Week Four Photo

This is a typical European village. Notice the Citadel high on the hill overlooking the village.

Dinant, Belgium - 24 Jan 09

We had lots of fun going to this town. The first time we went (last March), we couldn't go up to the Citadel. It was raining and it was cold and just miserable! Not that it was really warm this time but at least, we could ride the cable-car up and look at the city from up high. We went inside the Citadel and it was wet even there so I can just imagine in past centuries how miserable it must have been to stand guard and defend the place with all the humidity around you... I just thought also of the smell! in the summer months - lol - anyway, today, we had a great time!

Wanna come back...

It is said that if you touch this statue, you are guaranteed to come back to Brussels... every time we go by the statue which is around the corner from Grand Place, we touch it (and everyone else as well, if you judge by how it shines) in the hope that we will return after our tour here is over. I will stop by there soon and read again the name on the statue so I can record it here as well.

A Rose is Just a Rose

I saw this in a little eating joint downtown and I thought it would make a nice photo. So, here is my pic for the third week of January 2009.

One of my most favorite pictures!

My daughter is into scrapbooking... ok, that really doesn't express the extent into which Andy is involved in this "passtime"... anyway, she made this page for one of her many scrapbooks and I absolutely love it. Maybe our Bryan did get the shape of his chin from me or maybe not, but on this picture, I can say our chins certainly look alike! :):):)
