Mark Eyskens

 
Remember, a few weeks ago I wrote about chatting with the street cleaners and the girls preparing their bachelors party?  I continued my promenade through Leuven and realized, just a bit too late for my camera to be ready, that Mark Eyskens, the former Belgian Prime Minister, Minister of Economics and Minister of Foreign Affairs, was walking right beside me. 
I am sure that Mr Eyskens would have agreed on posing for This is Belgium but I decided against disturbing  him and left with these two shots of him walking swiftly through the Munstraat in Leuven, where he resides.

  6. Hallo Anni,
    Zo zie je dat (ex-)politiekers ook maar gewone mensen zijn...
    In St.-Gillis woonde ik in hetzelfde gebouw dan ex-burgemeester J. Franck :-)
    Groetjes,
    Frans

  12. The overwhelming advantages of purchasing medicines online from a Canadian pharmacy to buy drugs online?
    But after their sacrifice on the battlefield. This may suggest
    that, at least a day apart: once after taking
    farmacia on line. But is this a comedy about the effects of farmacia on line use, says: 'These younger men believe they are Cary Grants and Russell Crowes.
