Pictures from Brugge (Belgium)

We did have a wonderful two night stay in Brussels on our way to Liberia. What a beautiful city! Dave and I had met another couple traveling from Kansas City, MO (practically neighbors to Iowa :) They had a rental car and invited us to spend the day with them in Brugge. We had a lot of fun...God was so amazing to put some wonderful people in our path while we traveled. They were Christians too! We talked for 3 hours over dinner with them at our hotel in Brussels. They were just another blessing God gave us on our trip. We had so many God encounters on our trip I could tell several stories!

They were able to stay at the castle I posted a picture of. We had hoped to stay there but didn't think we should stress out doing that and trying to get back the next morning to catch our flight. We did get a tour which was good enough for now ;)

Brugge was by far the loveliest city. The buildings are so unique. There are canals with boat tours...horse and carriage rides...wonderful bakeries and restaurants. We just saw a small part of it!
I'd love to go when it's a little warmer. It was in the mid 40's when we went.
Don't go without eating a yummy Belgian waffle with all the toppings!
