Daniel and I took a trip to Antwerp today. Antwerp is a short train ride from Gent, and one of the largest oil refining areas in the world, next to Houston, TX (of course). I'm not going to write a whole lot about it because I've been on the computer for two hours now, and because I'm writing this about three weeks after we went. Also, it was REALLY cold that day so our walking tour of Antwerp was somewhat accelerated, and I don't remember a lot of the details. What I do remember is that Antwerp is a really cool city, and definitely one that I will have to visit again.

The main pedestrian street. It is directly in front of you as you walk out of the train station.

Found another doorway.

"Entrepot du Congo". I thought this building was neat because the Belgians controlled a large part of the Congo for a long time. That's why there is a diamond district in Antwerp.
