Our day in Namur was fascinating. We enjoyed a tour of the city which included a journey to the city's famous Citadel. The group photo shown was taken from a spot at the Citadel that overlooks the old city of Namur. Like the other cities we visited, Namur was bombed during World War I and World War II. However, many of the original buildings, some dating back to the 13th century, survived the warfare and are architectural wonders to behold. James Bartlett '10 is shown resting during our morning adventure. In the afternoon, we visited St. Julie Billiart's chapel on the grounds of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur Mother House. It was an extremely humbling experience to share time together in the chapel where Julie's remains rest.
Shopping in Namur was our next stop and we are looking forward to our evening dinner, where we will gather to share our thoughts and reflections from the day.
