Happy Birthday, Rachel!!

So for Rachel's 19th birthday, we took the train from Brussels to Liege (Belgium).  Michele gave us great directions again, and it was a mom and daughter day.  It has been a great 19 years having Rachel for a daughter, and hopefully the memories we have made on this trip will be remembered on many of her future birthdays as well.  Here are some from Liege:

Happy 19th Birthday, Rachel!!

The train station in Liege is a a must-see architectural wonder--of course it was easy to do so since we took the train there!

St. Paul's Cathedral

The Castle of the Counts

Another way cool church, which unfortunately was closed  (All were but St. Pauls)

Rachel and I at the bottom of the 375 stairs up to The Castillion

And at the top!!

Look closely--bet Anny, Michele and Alison didn't know they also came along on this birthday trip!!  (Taken from the top of the Castillion)

Such a sophisticated 19 year old!

Kaoma had a specially prepared dinner for us with food from the Congo--complete with the delicacy of caterpillars!  It was a great day/birthday.
