My cousin Meredith has been staying with us for the past two weeks and she will be here another two weeks before heading back to Atlanta to start her senior year of high school. She is pretty fluent in French (at least it seems to my untrained ear) and she has been doing a great job of practicing it over here as well as experiencing a bit of the European lifestyle.
This weekend we went to the small country of Luxembourg (it is about the size of Rhode Island) to see the town of Luxembourg and and the town of Vianden. On the way home we stopped by Bouillon, Belgium. Our good friend Beth Schepens joined us and we had a great time visiting castles and just wandering through the towns. I'm working on uploading the photos, but in the meantime, here are a few...
A typical image of the Belgian countryside. I absolutely love how beautiful it is to drive through Belgium.
A view from the top of the Bouillon castle. This kind of summarized the Ardennes -- hills, trees, water and old buildings.

I had no idea that the Belgian countryside is so beautiful. I've only seen pictures of the cities, I guess.
I recently found your blog when searching for Americans in Belgium, as my husband and I are looking at transferring over there this Fall from Atlanta.
WOW - I think I have this same picture, or close to it. My friend Anna and I went to Boullion and visited a couple of chateau on the way back last October. What beautiful country - you have truly captured it here!
