battle royale!

this is  a little late, as I visited it on this past weekend with a friend - but the pics are well worth the wait!

I'd seen the poster for this medieval re-enactment weekend in the big park near Antwerp City, and ...

the pictures say it all!!

(and yes, the last picture has guys in their underwear - as part of the comedy act of the face-off between the armies!!)

there were medieval weapons, food, clothes, herbs, metalwork, sculpture and so much more!!

it was a great afternoon out - and we did get rained on quite a bit - but it was well worth the time we had there!
