I'm doing the short local trips first. Then when I get the hang of the blog thing I'll do the big overnight trips We've done.

Part 4 of my battlefield series is Vimy RIdge. This was a battle in WW 1 between the Canandians and the Germans. Me and my battlefield buddy have been here twice. The first time we just stumbled upon it on our way to the Battle of the Somme. We only saw a few things and promised ourselves we'd come back. We did come back last December.

Part 3 of my battle field blogs is Ypres and Flanders Fields. 3 Major Battles were fought in the Belgian town in WW 1. I've been there 3 different times so I have lots of pictures.

Fort Eben-emeal is a belgian fort near the Albert Canal. It was built to defend Belgium from Germany. On 10 May 1940, 74 paratroopers of the German 7th Flieger later 1st Fallschirmjäger Division landed on the fortress with gliders. This blog is my trip and tour I took of the fort.

Part 2 of my battlefield blog series, The battle of the Somme battlefields from WW 1 in Northern France. I went there with my buddy back in May 2007.

The Family trip to Nimes, France. We also saw Pont du Gard, Les Baux, and the Camargue.

If you know me then you know I like military history and I like visiting battlefields. Living here in Belgium gives me more opportunities to visit many battlefields from WW 1 and WW 2. Northern France and Belgium are full of them. So I'm going to make travel blogs of all the places battlefield related. The first one will be Verdun.

Dinant Belgium and Boat ride.

This is part 5 of my battlefield series. It's to Waterloo, yes where Napoleon of France was defeated for the final time. Living here in southern Belgium makes it easy to get to these battlefields. Waterloo is about 20 Minutes from where we live.
