In the evening we had time to walk in the surroundings. The cathedral is so beautiful from the left bank. It's also the custom to have an organ demonstration by the cathedral organist, Peter Van de Velde. Amazing! And of course, we did guided tours three times a day, five days a week.
For some of us, it was the first time we had to cook for such a big group. Most of the time we had dinner in the courtyard. But on the feast of Assumtion (15 aug) we had a special feastmeal.
In 2003 we were very happy to welcome:

The project 2003 started on Wednesday 23 July 2003 in the evening while Saturday 16 August 2003 was the last day that we did guided tours. So everyone left Antwerp on the 17th.

'Vakantie: en we trekken massaal naar 't buitenland. Toch ontdek ik vandaag in 't hartje van ons Vlaamse land, nog steeds gaan hier geschiedenis en kunst hand in hand! Schoonheid, functie, symboliek, ook voor klein publiek. Wie was toch die gids? Geen naam, maar ... toch bedankt!' (Bornem, B)
