Antwerpen

Antwerp--It could be my favorite city in Belgium, although with so many pretty cities it is hard to pick a favorite.  You be the judge!!
Upon arriving in Antwerpen, we were immediately impressed by the amazing architecture in the train station

Last day to buy Belgian waffles, so we had to do it!!

Shopping district, with more beautiful Belgian archtecture

Look at the detail!

I could never get enough of the beautiful buildings

The statue has come to life, thanks to Michele and Rachel!

Construction on this castle started in 1200 AD.  Wow!


More beautiful Antwerp architecture

Yep, that says 1626 on it!!   Built 6 years after the Pilgrims came to America.

Good bye, Antwerpen!!  I hope to get to see you again.
