Sunday in history

 A sunday like we didn't had in ages. From one second to another we decided around noon to leave our home and travel to the east of the country. Once, in another life I visited the Gallo-Roman museum in Tongeren, the oldest ciry of Belgium and one called Atuatuca Tungrorum by the Romans who made a real city of it and battled overhere with the Eburones, a tribe in that region. But after so many years the museum got a huge facelift and also my husband never visited this magic place where it all began for Belgium. We enjoyed the history while the Indian Summer made from this day such a gift! In Hasselt we discovered a very new coffee pub, called Mucho Gusto, and really, who is in town, don't forget to pass by and enjoy of the arts of Roel, the owner of this magic place!

My Heroes / 2

As I promised to start drawing all my heroes! Here is the first male! And who said that heroes cannot have a cat? :) Roald Amundsen is one of my biggest heroes after all I guess...after Darwin! He was a Norwegian explorer of Polar regions. Imagine, he was the leader of the first expedition to the South Pole! What a men! And more, he had something with my country! He was first mate on the Belgian Antarctic expedition to the South Pole leaded by Adrian de Gerlache on the ship with the marvellous name...Belgica. The crew had to endure a winter there on that ship. What a story! I love it!
I was always crazy of exploring, travelling and extremes.
Does my hero mean something to you or what are yours? :)

My Heroes / 1

Here is my new heroine! HYPATIA is her name. Never heard about her until some days ago while watching the movie Agora of the Spanish-Chilean director Amenábar. With those kind of movies I always make a little jump inside because of the wonderfull dresses in those times. From the Greek until the Victorians! Still dreaming of wearing one someday!
But my Hypatia...she was like the first astronomer and notable woman in mathematics! There is so much to know about her...and in the end killed by some men who couldn't resist that women knew more then them! May'be I have to start to make some more portraits of my other heroines! Many of them were killed by awfull men...but I also have some huge heroes! Worth trying to draw I guess...:) Don't know if Hypatia liked cats, but in my world all my heroes had a cat :)
