In traveling with his pal Elizabeth back in February and March, they stopped in Turkey on their way to Belgium, where Mr. P and his guests ate all the food and visited all the sights in Antwerp and Bruges. He swam in frites, ate a lemon, and almost got mailed far away.
In danger near a statue for one of Antwerp's many historic guilds.
Mr. P with a Belgian hero, Tintin.
Checking out frites, a Belgian late night staple.
There are no bridges over the Scheldt River. Mr. P is hanging out at the top of a very scary wooden escalator down into one of the pedestrian tunnels under the river.
Sampling a 'bolleke', local slang for a glass of De Koninck.
Mr. P trying on a cuberdon, a nose-shaped Belgian gummy candy.
Mr. P at Middelheim, a large sculpture garden. He got some strange looks for checking out the (very strange) still lifes.
More still lifes.

More still lifes. WAIT! That car is crooked!
A day at the zoo with Mr. P! He liked taking his own pictures with his new camera.
Zoo times. Check out the glasses on that tree!
Mr. P was pretty dang excited to see windmills! Though maybe not as excited as E was.
Mr. P enjoys written correspondence and so had to check out several interesting mail slots.
More mail slots. OUCH!
Tiptoeing through the crocuses in a park in Antwerp on a springy day.
Mr. P checks out a fo' real castle: Het Steen, a medieval fortress along the Scheldt River in Antwerp.
Playing with his food at a birthday dinner. Pucker up!
Mr. P was excited to check out some of the oldest working printing presses in the world at the Plantin-Moretus Museum.

Another grand trip with his pal Elizabeth! Knocking new countries off his list is one of Mr. P's favorites.
He has some traveling to do this summer! Where are you taking him?! His schedule is pretty open...
