Dinant, Belgium

This past weekend Steve and I were able to have a night together in beautiful Dinant, Belgium. Many thanks to J.T and Niki for watching our little guy for us. He had a blast with them!  Dinant is a small town next to the Meuse River and has two main spectacular buildings: the Citadel which you can see in the picture on top of the cliff, and the Cathedral of Notre Dame. The Citadel was built during the Dutch occupation 1820. The weather was warm enough to take a walk along the river even in a light jacket! No more glove, hats, thermal underwear, and wool jacket needed...can you tell I'm happy Spring is here!

 We enjoyed a delicious Chinese dinner together. Above my Won ton soup and Steve below trying the shark fin soup. I didn't take a close up picture of his soup. ;) 

The house of Adolphe Sax is located in Dinant. He is the inventor of the saxophone!

The history of Dinant is remarkable.
