Mon., Dec. 18th - For a special treat ... Martha Harris conducted a city walk for us from Sq. du Bois around Ixelles so we could take in the wonderful Art Nouveau in that area. At 3C it was a bit of a challenge by the end of the walk.

Mon., Dec. 18th - An unexpected surprise occurred when Martha introduced us to the grandson of the famous Art Nouveau architect, Ernest Blerot, outside one of his most famous homes on the pond of Ixelles. Put this on your calendars for 6 & 7 Oct. '07 when the house will be open during the "Voir et Dire Bruxelles" exhibitions!
