Well, this weekend my friends M, H and I saw Bruges and Brussels, ate waffles, Flemish stew, mussels, fries, and chocolate, drank strong, rich beer and coffee, saw some historic sites including a church with a Michelangelo sculpture and all in all had a great time with some good friends. We even found a few alcoves in the park, and even though we knew we were awake, it felt like we were in a dream. Hopefully the photos tell the story.
A typical canal bridge in @#$%ing Bruges.
The clock attached to the bell tower as viewed from the canal.
One of the canal boats.
The player piano component to the bell tower.
Very cool clock works.
The Church of the Holy Blood ... do I haveta?
The Bruges City Hall ... even more beautiful on the inside where unfortunately photos were not allowed.
The oldest bridge in Bruges.
A nice fountain near a line of taverns and the train station.
Up close and personal with the clock.
The view of some canals from the bell tower.
One more canal view.
More internal clockworks. I wish I had time to apprentice with a clock maker.
A typical Flemmish brick building with colorful red doors.
Some beautiful flowers along the canals.
One of the largest canals on the way to see some "alcoves" in the park.
Park and canal together.
The lock building controlling some of the canals.
A pleasant courtyard view at what used to be a hospital. I could definitely heal here provided I had not been treated with Medeival methods.
More courtyard.
Some monks who were either sick and needed comforting or helping the sick and needing comforting.
A view of some delicious Belgian chocolates.
A moment of silence for the mussels lost in the production of this photo.
A clock at the Church of the Ends of the World in Brussels.
The Brussels City Hall in the main plaza.
A bigger view of the City Hall.
One more clock.
Yours truly in front of the most famous statue in Brussels ... a little boy relieving himself.
