Mike co-sponsors the Junior Achievement Club here at RC. Part of his responsibility is to chaperone 4 students to the JA Flemish Trade Fair in Antwerp. We leave tomorrow, Thursday, return next Tuesday, and we will spend time in both Antwerp and Brussels. When I told grandson Michal we were making this trip, I said that all I knew about Belgium was that it is famous for diamonds and chocolate. He thought about that for a minute and then said, “So you could say that Belgium is rich in value and rich in taste!”
And of course, the famous hero Tin Tin comes from Belgium. I think that Belgian people are adventurers. We met a lot of them on the Camino de Santiago and on desert camping trips in Egypt.
So, what would you rather have as a souvenir – chocolate, diamonds or a new Tin Tin book?
