 |
| And this is the big statue thingy at Welkenraedt |
 |
| And Rotary gave us all Christmas hats to go sur le marché! |
 |
| This is a cool ad. It happens to be a promotion for quitting smoking. |
 |
| That's a taxi. IN GERMANY |
 |
| That's the Opera House in Aachen (Aix-la-Chappelle in French) |
 |
| Hotel des villes. Government chambers. This is very famous. |
 |
| It was one of Charlemagne's favorite places, Aachen. |
 |

| On a day of congé, Françoise and I drove to a nearby chateau to get some christmas déco ideas! |
 |
| the Chateau de Modave, in the village of Modave |
 |
| With those little tour guide ear listeners! I got mine not in English, but in French :) |
 |
| Another old picture of Liege |
 |
| This large Arbre de Genaolgie covered the entire ceiling of the entrance hall. |
 |
| and it's a real one. |
 |
| This is called Regence, Liège style. No joke. |
 |
| My host family tells me this particular chapel on the second floor is very popular of Japanese weddings. Something about a tourist brochure that got produced in Asia for this very chateau. Funny ol' world in'it? |
 |
| And the Christmas tree at home! It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! |
