Sunday, Aug. 21. Sarah Ann and I go to the Druivenfeesten in Overijse. (Druiven = grapes). The area south of Brussels in Overijse (pronounced "o'-ver'-eye-zah") and Hoeliaart (basically "Hoo-ey'-laaarrrt") are renowned for their glass greenhouses in which they grow their grapes. It was a much bigger industry in the past, now a lot of the greenhouses have been torn down or fallen into disrepair, but the growers still take a lot of pride. The grapes in this picture were almost as big as plums, no joke....if only they could figure out how to make them seedless.....
