the famous hand statue on Meir Street.

Arrival day in Belgium!  Not a lot of action here especially since it's Sunday.  After arriving to our dorms at the Monty, we were given a group scavenger hunt assignment around Antwerp to get an idea of where useful things and landmarks were located around the city including a laundry mat, the train station, the professors apartment, and various statues.  Unfortunately we didn't win but it was a good way to get an idea of our way around the city and get to know our group members a little better.



Later in the day we also visited a pub and experienced some new Belgium beer, it was delicious!

On our way to a delicious group dinner at an Italian restaurant, we passed to Town Hall and the statue of the Giant's Hand being Thrown into the Scheldt River.
