Brugge Belgium

We took a short weekend trip to Brugge, Belgium. It was a great little city, we had fun exploring. The town has canals that were used to bring goods into the city from the sea. Now the canals are just used for tourists.

The yellow fields were all over on our drive, I just couldn't get enough
The drive was kind of buggy
Entering Belgium (from Luxembourg, where they speak Luxembourgish)

Before our ascent up the tower

The main square from the top of the tower

Inside a big fireplace in a mansion that has been turned into a museum-probably shouldn't have been standing on and touching the artifacts-oh well.

A canal and a tourist boat

At our hotel-we had to pass through the first-and-a-half-floor.

As you can read on the sign this store was named the "Bier Temple" Belgium is known for their beer, Jake said it was scrumptious !

The main square and the tower, we climbed all 300 and some steps to the top although Jake is sure there were at least a thousand

The BEST chocolate shop-they had creme brulee caramel in a dark chocolate shell

Another chocolate shop (first runner-up) that sells fried onion chocolate. Didn't try this although the Cuban cigar chocolate went down really smooth.

We toured the local brewery which included a free glass of unfiltered blonde ale-unless you are pregnant, in which case you only got a soda and a tiny sip of your husband's wonderful beer.
