Nominated for Photo of the Week...
I'm so pleased that you have chosen to blog about your past journeys...otherwise this picture from 2004 would not have been found. I also lived in Belgium...for 11 years from 1984 to 1995 when I worked at NATO. I joined TB in 2009 and in between annual trips, I decided to work my way back; completing six decades of journeys at the end of 2011. So keep it writing those blogs.
