The Last ChRISTMAS IN BELGIUM
 
 
 
A few random shots to remember the Last Christmas in Belgium. As usual, we took about two pix of Christmas and dozens of the town we visited.  
The tree, which wound up looking not as bad as we had feared
The annual waiting-to-descend picture. First year player Stephan does not yet have game face. See Rachel for proper technique.
Rachel and Stephan open…something. Meanwhile, Becky is puzzled.
You would think this was The Best Gift Ever.
But in reality, this is the BGE.
A local connection to the Aachen Lions Club?
And quickly to Strasbourg
S’bourg by night
S’bourg cutness
S’bourg cathedral, which by the way, I thought was pretty cool.
Altar by night
Strange statue dude
Lots of prayers going up
Crèche, just before they yelled at everyone to shut up…and stop chewing gum.
Big sapin de Noël
Tree, ‘nother shot
That cathedral spire
Closeup
Altar in daylight
We’re everywhere!
Either the river or a canal--I could never get it straight.
Other direction
Still cute in the daylight
Again
Remember the snow and the traffic delays?
Made for good photo ops
Home again, home again
Jiggedy bounce!
