Mother Mary watching over her child ... and us

Maybe this tip gets boring, but it's just something that should be mentioned in all Belgian town and villages. Be aware of the details when you're walking over the streets in this Catholic country. Statues of holy figures, preferably holy mother Mary, are watching over you constantly and from many angles. It's so charming and wonderful that the keep on being in the scenery. I just love this.

Party on the market square...


People in Tunhout like to have parties. This is common all over Belgium, but during the summer there is always something to do. Every excuse is good for a party, special when there is lots of beer ;-)
