The weekend before last marked the opening of the Christmas Markets here in Europe. And since David was here for another visit, we started making the rounds to see some of the European Christmas markets.
Christmas Market -- Monschau, Germany
A few of the Christmas Markets we visited were in Lille, France, Monschau, Germany and our very own market here in Brussels, Belgium. Let's see how many Christmas Markets we will visit during our last month here...

We were also able to visit a few new places with David while he was here. We saw the towns of Tournai and Beloeil in Belgium and also visited the Japanese Pagoda and Chinese Pavilion here in Laeken. Interestingly, the Japanese Pagoda and Chinese Pavilions were commissioned by King Leopold II, aka "The Builder King" who also built The Royal Greenhouses, Royal Museum for Central Africa (and its surrounding park), and the Cinquantenaire, just to name a few.
