A collection of some of the photos I took while visiting Belgium in May of 2001.  Beautiful country, friendly people, excellent food, beautiful architecture...I could go on and on.  If you decide to go, try and avoid going as part of a tourist group (with the exception of returning with a veteran's group-which I would like to do) and just "wing it."  Fly over, rent a car, and throw out your inhibitions - you'll be fine.  Enjoy!

 I think the Romans were the original builders of this castle.
