YPRES / IEPER GALLERIES 2009

Flanders in Belgium has dual language.....Ypres is the town's French name, and Ieper is its Flemish one.
Ypres was completely destroyed during WWI....and afterwards its buildings were rebuilt as exact copies of the originals. An amazing feat ....see the images of postcards, in the first gallery, showing before, during & after WWI, and the present day

Great shots! Brings back memories of our trip to that area. We stayed in Poperinge and LOVED our visit to the Trappist Abbey in Westvleteren. Did you drink beer there? Yum!
