Tammy is sitting on a modern art piece in the city center. It is based
on the book, Dog of Flanders.
The church is the Cathedral of Our Lady built
between 1352-1521 as one of the world's tallest buildings. Inside the bell
tower is a carillon with 47 bells. Inside are 4 magnificent canvases
painted by Pieter Paul Rubens,
"The Assumption of the Virgin", "The Raising of
the Cross", "The Descent of the Cross" and "The Resurrection of Christ".
Belgium is known for its lace, chocolates
and diamonds. Most of the diamonds that the Dutch mined in South
Africa came through the ports of Antwerp.

Beautiful pictures. Years ago, we visited Solvang, CA. In one of the stores, a lady was making lace; it was so fascinating to watch. Thank you for sharing!
