The beginning of the month found me on a business trip to Brussels and Wallonia that spanned a weekend.
The colleague with whom I traveled is '01 and has a fantastic respect for history. We jumped in the car bright and early on Sunday morning and drove the 100ish miles to Bastogne to see the museum for the Battle of the Bulge.

It is worth the drive from Brussels. Honestly, it would have been worth the drive from London.
We happened to be traveling on the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Belgium. In the countryside around Spa, we encountered numerous private homes flying the Stars and Stripes next to the Belgian flag.
The American Cemetery at Neuville-en-Condroz is also worth your time.
