Today we drove to the small town of Brugge in Belgium. It's about 2 1/2 hours from Dustin and Amanda's house. We got there just in time for lunch...waffles! Brett and I both had a waffle with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce. Very tasty! We went the Church of Our Lady where Michaelangelo's Madonna and Child is housed. We climbed all 366 steps to the top of the bell tower located in the town square. We got to the top just in time to hear the Carillon play and the hour chime at 3:00. After recovering from the burn in our legs we made our way down. Basillica of the Precious Blood holds a vile of Christ's blood. Supposedly, Joseph of Arimathea collected the blood at the feet of Jesus at the cross. Who knows if it's true, but it's a cool story. We also did some shopping. We bought some lace and chocolate. The town was very beautiful. As we headed out of town we got a snack of fritters (french fries) with mayonnaise. We had a great day after a great nights sleep (12 hours)!

I am jealous of all of the waffles you are getting to eat!! BTW, I had no idea that waffles and ice cream was such big deal until we moved to the East Coast.
