BRUGE BELGIUM

A flock of swans on the canal bank.

More views of the old medival town and the young beautiful tourists

We passed under some low bridges.

The end of a great meal we ate outside in the square.

On Monday after another scrumptous breakfast but also our last of those sorts, we packed up in the car and took a 2 hour drive southwest in Belgium to see the medival town of Bruge which has been retored and is now a hot tourist spot. On the drive we noticed that when we crossed the country boarder the senery change in a small way and it was not so clean cut and pristene even though it was still beautiful farm land. On arrival to the old town section of the city we checked into our hotel left our jackets and umbrella behind dawned our sunglasses and headed out for a canal tour of the city. It was relaxing way to see the town even though we had to hear the tour in 3 languages. Here are some pictures of the sight. At the end of our day we ate Pizza Hut which tasted so good (it had been a long time) and then played hearts in the room until late.

You look unhappy to have finished your great meal on the square. I'm sure Sarah will be so excited to hear all about your trip to Belgium, Abby!
