Waterloo-being there

Wils get to handle an infantry sword. It is pretty heavy according to him. The French re-enactor chuckles as we all look on.

Paul says this guy is "Hardcore" meaning for us laymen to reenacting: His outfit is well researched and put together....nothing "farbie" about it.

We like reenactors. V and Paul posing with the infantry. This guy to the right looks the part: right age, right size, (also a good looking Frenchman...yeah Pauls holding on to Vaden pretty tight in this picture)

Here is a statue of the little man himself. This is an excellent museum to visit. We thought the info was given in creative and varying ways. There is even a tour of the battle field by four wheel open bus. We chose not to go as we had a ferry to catch....we also felt like that was for the real enthusiast of the battle ie. lots of Brits the day we visited, they like it here, they won!
