Aalst

 This morning she woke up to cold and rain.  Walking out to breakfast we got wet, we decided that a train wouldn’t be a bad idea.  Got back, packed, and left for the train station.   Along the way we got wetter, but when we go to the train station it stopped raining and looked sunny.  Checking the weather app showed no rain for the next four hours so we decided to make a run for it.

We quickly made a route from the train station and pushed off.

The ride was pretty uneventful.  The possible exception would be the airplane on top of the house.

By 2:30 we reached our destination for the day. Our speed

Was about 3x what we did in the UK.

The Belfry in Aalst.  Pretty town but much larger than i expected.

Wandering around town we found a church alter that was painted by Rubens.  Painted in 1630, stolen by the French and put in the louvre in 1789 and returned in 1813
