Today is Belgium's national holiday. On Juli 21, 1831, King Leopold I was introduced and Belgium was, so to speak, officially opened.
There wil be the usual parade in Brussels this afternoon, with King Albert II, the armed forces, and the popuation, and there'll be "la drache nationale", the taditional rainshower going down on them all. It's alreay on its way up from Northern France. Une joyeuse fête nationale/een gelukkige nationale feestdag! And may there be many more to come. Ralf -- Ralf R.
