LisaLucyJuliaInBrussels: First Pic

21 June 2011

First Pic

Brian sends this first picture from Brussels, the Arc de Triomphe in the Parc Cinquantenaire which is about 2 blocks from our apartment there. If you are interested you can read some history on the park and the arc.

Julia says she looks forward to doing some drawings or paintings of the fountain and arc when we are there. She thinks we might need some larger paper in addition to doing sketches in our travel journals (to be purchased).
