Only two days left before flying back to Phnom Penh… My short yearly trip to Europe has three advantages: I can eat strawberries for breakfast, and I can scan old negatives while AT THE SAME TIME watching the Tour de France. But the Tour de France is finished since several days now. And the holidays are nearly finished as well.

Pictures about Guatemalan refugees taken in Mexico in 1988 but never used for the ‘Refugees‘ story which you can see here on my website.

Pictures taken but never used during my trip to Cambodia in 1999 for the book ‘Avoir 20 Ans à Phnom Penh’ (Being 20 in Phnom Penh). You can see the images here. Or buy the book (ISBN: 2-86227-262-0)… I believe it is still available.

A big crowd of Belgians attended the festivities held on the occasion of King AlbertII abdicating in favour of his son King Philippe/Filip. The sun shone bright.

Also see here when King Baudouin passed away and AlbertII became King.

Well, at least Brussels is warming up for the coronation of King Philippe/Filip. Saturday it was about going to the ‘Foire du Midi’ followed by dancing, eating sausages or snails, drinking beer and dancing with a crown saying ‘merci’ to abdicating Albert II on your head.
