Belgium - Brugge

Some say that Brugge is a "Disneyland" town - just done up for tourists. I say, I don't care...it's beautiful!! I would recommend this town to anyone! Everywhere we looked there was a photo-op. We started our evening with a Mexican Hotdog (of all things) and ice cream cones.





This is the famous Brugge Market Square. It's charming. Paul and Matthew purchased fresh fruit here the morning we left. Brugge is known for beautiful, handmade lace. I took this picture to show you the amazing detail - imagine the time this took! It was almost 4 feet across!








There are decadent chocolate shops on almost every block. It was a delight to see and smell all these heavenly treats, but oh, so dificult to choose. Our only regret: we should have purchased more! You can never have too much Belgium chocolate!

Hey these pictures are great. The bad thing is they make me more jealous of you. :) And as a side note, did you get your hair highlighted?

Brynn, you're right, we are blessed. It's not every day you get to live a dream you have had for a lifetime.

Stephanie, I'm used to the jealousy of my beauty and wit. =) I actually got my hair died - blond and red. Needed a European flair, you know, for the trip. =)
