Here are some images from our trip to Belgium, Italy, and Spain. We were gone three weeks, including
travel. If you are interested in more detail regarding the trip and our experiences, see Pat's trip report.
Our first stop was Antwerp, Belgium to visit our friends Hugo and Martine as well as their family. We've
known them since 1982 when we lived in Belgium for a year while George was on sabbatical. It was great
to be in Antwerp again. While in Belgium we visited Lille, a Flemish town in France about an hour's drive
from Antwerp. There is a nice art museum there and the town is very charming. We were in Belgium for
four days and then flew on to Rome.
