Islander travels to Waterloo, Belgium

This month, Chandra DeSilva, owner of the popular La Scala Italian Bistro, traveled with his daughter, Sophia DeSilva, and family to Waterloo, a town south of Brussels, in Belgium, and took along a copy of the Islander to be reminded of home.

Waterloo is where, in 1985, Emperor Napoleon I suffered his final defeat. It is also the home of the Lion’s Mound, an artificial hill topped by a cast-iron lion. At its foot is a rotunda housing the Panorama of the Battle, a vast circular painting. Nearby, the Memorial 1815 is an underground center illustrating the battle’s historic importance.

Thanks for sharing the experience, Chandra, and welcome back!
