Getting to know Zaventem - 3 walks


   Howard and I started our first official day of training here in Belgium with a morning walk - we found a park, some cool office buildings, flowers and a swan. Walk #1.

The Zav Center run by:Operation Mobilization

Beautiful flowers outside the center

After lunch Howard and I headed into the business district of the city of Zaventem to find a way to get some Euros - no one would exchange our cash so we found two banks that would do withdrawels from our ATM cards - not sure of the charges for this yet...the adventure continues - walk #2
