We expect to visit corporations such as BMW, Bosch, BASF, DaimlerChrysler, AstenJohnson, and Picanol as well as the European Union and the inland Port of Antwerp. We also will visit historic sites such as Nuremberg, Cologne, Aachen, the Battle of the Buldge, Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent/Bruges, Ypers, Verdun, the Maginot Line, and Trier.
