We fumbled our way around Brussels, but
finally found the Royal Palace. No kidding - the king was receiving
guests - ambassadors, not us - that day. A contingent of Royal horsemen
served as an honor guard for each dignitary as they arrived in a black
Mercedes. After watching several arrivals, we walked the local area
including Embassy Row. Even at this early stage of our trip, we were
proud to see Old Glory above the American Embassy. It had only been
a few days since the terrorist bombing of the USS Cole in Yemen and the
security around the embassy was clearly evident, including barricades and
barbed wire. |
