I still have two more years before I have to renew for my passport! My mom grew up in Zarren, my dad was born in Pervysse(sp?) and I have relatives in Nieuw Porte(sp?) Loved the pictures you posted.

Was there many years ago at the World's Fair. The people were very friendly and the restaurants outstanding. My "basic" French was tolerated and it amused them no end. Antwerp is a lovely city.

In junior high school, I started taking the bus and tram all over Brussels. I don't know if it's still the case, but we didn't have school on Wednesday afternoons, so I'd often go downtown and just walk around. Your pictures make me miss Brussels. Belgium is really rich culturally. Anyone going to Brussels should take the 90 tram from beginning to end. You'll get a great tour of the city and you'll ride right by where I grew up. Also be sure to see the Cinquantenaire and to eat a Belgian waffle. Thanks for posting the pix. I was born and raised about a 20-minute walk from the Grand Place, in a poor immigrant neighborhood.
