KPVM World Travels

Skagen, Denmark is a great town.  It is a harbor town, and I found a man, and a boat (or at least a partial one) with my name on it! The town is quite picturesque. There was a church.

So, I wanted to see for myself, why they like it so much. And  I don't see why they liked it so much. The first thing we saw was the Atomium. It was constructed for the 1958 World's Fair. The monument, built in the shape of a body-centered cubic iron crystal, was intended to honor the metal industry and celebrate the atomic age. Each of the metal spheres are 18 meters in diameter; the entire structure stand 102 meters tall. Brussels itself was not overly impressive, more like any other city.  However the Grand-Place was something to see.  I only wish I was there in about 2 weeks time, because they have a flower carpet which takes up most of the plaza.
