Huub and Yasmeen at Chambar living it up. A couple of Dutchies in a Belgian bistro enjoying a few Gulden Draak to celebrate Barbara's brirthday.What is now Belgium has been variously described as the Austrian or Spanish Netherlands as well as the Southern Netherlands. Belgium became an independent country from the Netherlands in 1830.
Today, there's a Dutch speaking majority in the Northern part of Belgium (Flanders) and a French speaking majority in the southern part of Belgium (Wallonia) What both have in common is their love for the good life. Several of Huub's Dutch friends, Benny, Pieter and Esther, now live in Belgium.
Looking forward to celebrating next year (January 2011) at Belgianfest at Georgetown Studios in Seattle- road trip!
