Parc Cinquantenaire

Not the Brandenburg Gate. Oh no.

Rather back in Brussels for my first 'trip' of the year.

Miserable grey weather and few opportunities for blip wandering. Here is a picture of the 'triumphal arch' at the entrance to the Parc Cinquantenaire behind the Rond Point Schuman in the 'euro-quarter'. There is a picture of me somewhere in my archives under the arch in 1983 having just finished the Vingt Kilometres de Bruxelles. The first of two occasions in my life when I did a half marathon length 'race'. The second time I did such a run, in 1987 in Exeter, I discovered afterwards that I had been about one month pregnant.
