halloween in antwerpen

today we ventured out to antwerp


{the train station}


{most of you may have heard the name antwerp from "the shane company" advertisements on the radio...it's the place he goes to get diamonds}

{cool shopping street. notice the pizza hut}


{the best market in brussels. it had everything. we bought dried apricots. discovered a new fruit called kaki which is a mixed of mangos and peaches. tried yummy crossiants.}


{have to have a map picture from every city we travel to}


{we were very excited to see this}


{can you tell which one is real? this seems to be the big thing here in europe. everywhere we go we see people dressed up like statues or other things that don't move and they just stand there. kinda weird}


{me in front of "the stone" a small castle here in antwerp that used to be used for torturing, we thought it would be the perfect thing to see but unfortunately it was closed...until 2011}


{probably the coolest piece of art we have seen}


{the garden at rueben's house. we were able to tour it. while he was alive he was one of the most famous artists in europe}


{okay and this is our halloween picture for the day. it's a bad picture because we took it while we were on the train, but click on the picture and what you are looking at is a cemetary. it was so crazy to see how all of their gravestones are right next to each other, no grass. kinda crazy..}

ps: in one week we are going to BARCELONA!
