| Our first meal in Brussels! |
 |
| My first time playing ultimate. Can you see the double rainbow? Also, this pic was taken at 9:30 pm. I REALLY love the late sun, Karen not so much. |

| The park that is a 2 minute walk away from our apartment. |
 |
| Same park, different view. I go here almost every morning as part of my morning routine. |
 |
| This is the park that is 5 minutes from our apartment. It's like being in a forest! Endless miles and miles of trails that link up. |
 |
| Another picture of the forest park. So cool to be able to be in a forest! Congo has tons of forests, but not secure enough to visit. :-( |
Being in Brussels is nice, but it's really weird and strange, because almost all of the infrastructure and parks and monuments here were built with money that came from King Leopold II enslaving Congolese people and the money that came out of that. There's entire books written on this subject.
So glad you get to enjoy some peaceful, sweet scenes (& good sammiches). Strange to think that despite all the forest in Congo, you aren't able to visit it.
ReplyDeleteThat would be very strange to realize where all that wealth came from... Sad.
ReplyDeleteThe double rainbow didn't come from enslaving people though, so that's awesome.
Love and miss you both!
