Three-Years Ago (10-September-2012) — Belgium

Gone to see Europe. Semester at Sea. Fall 2012 Semester Voyage on the MV Explorer. Day 18: Brussels Field Trip.

After the MV Explorer docked in Antwerp, I joined the Field trip to Brussels which included a meeting with the European Union/European Commission on the Environment. During the day I took lots of pictures of Brussels, the Food, Brussel Sprouts, Statues, and Students on the Field Trip. If you get through some or all of these albums great. I am having a hard time picking which are the best images
