Belgium

The Political Science department took us on a trip to Brussels, Belgium to visit the European Union and NATO headquarters (which no pictures where allowed to be taken). With a group of about fifty, we had a wonderful time.

We visited the village of Bruges, located outside of Brussels. Lots of chocolate was consumed!

In Bruges, the lake of love is a beautiful spot.

Inside the European Union Council, behind us is artwork of the many European stereotypes

Our group dinner was a lot of fun!
