Thursday, April 21 - Antwerp, Belguim

The boys are standing in front of the Brabo Fountain where the hero Silvius Brabo saves the town from the evil giant's tyranny.

This is the Grote Markt which is from the 16th century.


This is the Stadhuis or Town Hall built in the 16th century.

This is a statute showing artisans building The Cahedral of Our Lady. It was begun in 1352 and finished in the 15th century. Its tower is 404 feet tall.

This statute was top one of guild houses in the Grote Markt. All the guild houses have a gold statute on top of them!

The boys went to see the Reubens House, home of a famous painter, PeterPaul Reubens. We got to see some of his paintings.

This is the entrance to  The Cathedral of Our Lady.
These bicycles were parked at the train station in Breda. There were thousands there. Everywhereyou go, you see cyclists. You can see when when buying gas....it costs about $12.00 a gallon (so I guess we shouldn't complain!)

Scary character we saw on a building near the train station in Breda.
Sunset on a canal in Breda. Beautiful
