Brugge

Tuesday we returned from a fabulous Holiday in Brugge! We survived the train delays and made it out of Paris on a stormy and windy Sunday and got to spend two nights at the wonderful Hamilton House.

After settling in on Sunday, we out for a fantastic dinner of Flemish Stew and of course, French Fries! (The Flemish claim to have invented the French Fries and they are served with every meal! It is the ONLY side dish!) And we ate ice cream for dessert!

We returned to the house and caught the Gold Medal Hockey Game between Canada and the US! I know it sounds silly to spend vacation time watching TV (K and M!), but it was so much fun to have a TV and watch such an exciting game!

Monday was a fabulous day on the town. We ate waffles for breakfast and then caught a canal ride. Afterwards we wandered through the streets of Brugge. We stopped in The Church of our Lady and saw Michelangleo's Madonna and Child.

Lunch that afternoon was Mussels and of course, Fries! We each ate a bucket of mussels and munched on delicious fries! It was a fabulous lunch.

That afternoon we returned to the House, went for a quick bike ride, watched In Bruges, and napped! :)

We finished up Monday with dinner in the town square. Tuesday was a fun, lazy day of walking the streets of Brugge again before our train left! It's a great little town, beautiful architecture, and great food! I highly recommend a visit!
