We set off on August 23rd to find Waterloo, Belgium curious about Napoleon and the famous battle.
We found Waterloo and after we saw a multimedia staging of the battle and then an excellent short movie that set the mood and stage, both made to music, the international language. Here we are at foot of the Lion Monument.
Going up to the top of the Monument. Lots of steps and narrow.
Stryker-Ann strikes a pose with Mr. Lion, dedicated to the 47,000 soldiers on all sides, killed or wounded at the Battle of Waterloo.
Vaden reading the map of the battlefield and troop positions. This was an amazing view of the countryside and made you pause to think of the waste and destruction of war.
