Karen and I recently made a trip to my favorite Belgian Beer store and took a detour to Margraten, I've been wanting to go for some time. It was a nice, bright sunny day, but still quite cold so we didn't stay long! The sun was so beautiful over the countryside, we just had to stop and get a picture.
The cemetery was sobering, to see all those white crosses and read the names. We walked through to the end and back, but I'd love to go back sometime when it's warmer and just walk around. It's so quiet and it really makes you think about the sacrifices that are made by the military. I'm glad those brave men and women are honored in Europe still. It's too bad we don't show them that much honor in our own country sometimes!
We ate lunch at the Mother Goose Restaurant, my favorite!! I just love their cheese plate, except for the smelly cheese. We didn't go in the smoke house afterward because there were some teenagers hanging around and it would have ruined it. Karen is such an easy/fun travel companion, we'll be doing a lot more in the weeks to come as it warms up!
