Dinant

Here is another place to see in Belgique.  The fort dates back from the 11th century. Around 1450, one mean French duke(Charles the Bold) threw 800 men in the river Meuse (see below) two by two, nice guy!  Then he burnt the city down.  It was bunrt down again in 1914 by the Germans...not a good history for these Dinantois!

The Happiest Place on earth

There are some really big chipmunks in Paris

We didn't find the Eiffel Tower, even with the maps!

We did find this cowboy, who laughed at our silliness...

no Arc de Triomphe here either...

 Here is their Eiffel Tower, with strange ears

So we left, but not empty handed

and went back to our cabin in the woods of France.

Bastogne

An American Tank that was part of the battle of the bulge in December 1944.  My dad and two others actually wrote a book about this tank and its occupants.  He found the survivors or their descendants and wrote their story. I translated it into English.  It is now standing at the McAuliffe's Square.  See the little Belgian and American flags on the bottom.

My twin sister

A rare picture of my brother not messing around!

Tommy's new girl (don't tell Eden).  She actually already cleans and keeps house pretty well!

Les Frites

I have no idea why OUR fries are called French Fries, as if the Frenchies knew how to make them!!!

If you ever go to my country, the one thing that you cannot leave without eating are these...and yes, with mayo

Beuatiful Day

The sun lives here

We've had some pretty cold rainny days, but today the sun came back.

Some of the food

My goal when I come home is to eat eat eat.  Here are a few things we eat, but there will be more.

La Roche

We are in Belgium for a month.  This is a little place near my parents' home

Happy Birthday to the man of my dreams!

I truly believe that you are better and better with age, just like old cheese and wine!
