A day in Belgium...

As the trip progressed, we found ourselves feeling more and more drawn to the idea of a "taste" of Belgium. Visions of waffles, chocolate, and brew enticed us beyond our ability to resist. Thus, we headed from Denmark to Brugge, Belgium on yet another overnight train. Arriving in the early morning, we walked along the quiet streets to our hostel. After checking in, we headed out on our first mission: finding an authentic Belgian waffle. Luckily, it didn't take us long to complete this task, as we serendipitously happened upon a farmer's market. For years I have dreamed of eating waffles in Belgium. Fulfilling the dream was extremely rewarding and fun! Next we did a bit of a walking tour of the town, stopping to view Michelangelo's Madonna and a few architectural gems. From there, we toured a brewery, visited a chocolate museum, and rode on a boat through the canals. We ended our day at a cozy pub, where we sampled some flavorful brewski along with an assortment of cheese cubes. Kyle and I both loved our time in Belgium, and we look forward to another visit there someday.
