<para xml:id="p1">Belgium is <link xlink:href="/2003/11/21/countries">country number nine</link>
for me. I arrived yesterday
<link xlink:href="/2004/itinerary/02-28-techplenary">from Cannes</link>
for two more days of meetings. Coincidentally, that’s nine (days) in a row. Too many.

<para xml:id="p2">Landing after dark, I didn’t see much of Brussels. In Antwerp last night,
I walked past and around the gorgeously illuminated cathedral.</para>

<gal:image rdf:resource="images/20040307-211023"/>

<para xml:id="p3">If I get better exposures, I may replace these pictures (I think the
illumination is a little over-exposed). And I plan
to get some during daylight hours, too.</para>

<para xml:id="p4">Updated: 09 Mar 2004:</para>

<para xml:id="p5">Some of those are a little better exposed, I think, if a tad redundant.</para>
