Picture taken in the African Museum (see below) in Brussels
I live in Waterloo (Belgium) where Napoleon lost his battle. I am German, but have lived most of my life in Belgium. I was happily married for 54 years with an Italian, who was the love of my life. Now I am a widow.

No funny WW post this week?? Awww. I just finished reading and looking at your museum post below. Very interesting. And as you say, sometimes we forget that 50 years ago people were were not able to travel around the world like we do these days.
ReplyDeleteAfrican art is in the air at our school where several teachers work on this theme with the pupils! Et on a un four à potier! Comme aujourd'hui on travaille pour remplacer le lundi de pentecote, notre directeur va nous apprendre comment émailler nos poteries. Bon mercredi Gattina.
