Driving
along the Meuse river, a beautiful river valley, we visited a number of
quaint towns such as Profondevile, Annevoie, and Spontin. Spontin had a
fantastic old castle, one that was "rebuilt" after it's military
usefulness had come to an end. This rebuild put it into a more habitable
form, and it became a fortified manor. We disturbed the castle staff during
their lunch, but the elderly gentlemen broke free of his wine and bread
to give us a lengthy history of the structure (in English). At long last,
free of his discourse as well as other tourists, we crawled through the
structure, and enjoyed its double moats and towers.
