Sorry for the delays in the updates, readers!

No doubt I've been busy, not only with the holidays, but getting ready to record!

Here's part 2 of my Belgium photos.

Inside a museum that allows you to 'experience' the trenches

more trench experiences!

Towards the lobby of the trench 'experience'

The 1st and 2nd floors were all museum pieces, while the basement had been converted into a realistic 'trench' environment.

chunks of bunkers

solar powered street signs!

Commemorative plaque

Lists upon lists of fallen German soldiers' names

Shadowy figures standing vigil

...always watching...

...in total, there were 63 of these metal sheet lists of soldiers names.

...as well as an entire room with names carved in wood.

more names...

architecture

Funniest street sign of the entire trip!

All the pharmacies (Apothecaries) have brightly lit neon cross signs

Not only a great band, but apparently a delicious beer

Another pharmacy sign, which reminds me of the Romeo and Juliet film featuring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes.
