Brugge Belgium

Here is the link to the photos from Brugge, Belgium. I spent the day walking around Belgium with my room mate. The weather was nice, mid 50's, and no rain - cloudy but no rain.

The first photos are of the Channels that outline the city. The white buildings and church photos are from the Convent. The convent is a retirement home for the nuns, it is very pretty. There are a few photos from another church in town. The statue is The Madonna and Child by Michelangelo. Read the sign, I took a photo so I would not forget what it was.

Then there are two photos of a wooden statue. This is Lady Wisdom, it is the base of the pulpit.

The next photos were taken in one of the city centers. I love the buildings in Belgium. And last but not least chocolate. There are a ton of chocolate shops all over the city. We checked out a few and I bought some for Easter. I gave up chocolate, sweets and coke for lent. I can not wait until next weekend. I want some chocolate in the worst way. The waffles looked fantastic but again I must wait another week.

These chocolate eggs were in a case in one of the chocolate shops. Looking at all this candy made we very homesick. I can't wait to get home and make chocolate.

Not much is going on. The office is steady, but it will get very busy next week. We have a four day Holiday for Easter so I will have a short week. Nothing planned yet. I may venture into France for a flea market. But next Sunday is the half way point, if we leave on schedule.

Have a great week.
