BRUGGE

We spent today in Brugge, getting started a bit later than we had planned (a little miscommunication, a little 'trying to get 12 people out the door') but I feel like we had a pretty full day there. We went on a boat tour to see a good chunk of the city
and we ended up walking around a lot after that to find the chocolate museum (yum!), the chocolate shop "The Chocolate Line" and different shops to wander into. Lunch and dinner were also interesting to look for, as Brugge is a tourist town and most places in those areas can be EXPENSIVE...

We also found a house with a huge Texas state flag flying outside of it... So of course we knocked on the door wanting to meet this Texan. It turned out he wasn't home, but his wife was (and she was Belgian) but we did have a nice chat with her.

I'm still looking for a nice pair of heels, but we've passed a lot of shoe stores. It seems the most common heels here are about an inch and quite thick (which makes sense because the cobblestones are hard enough to walk on in normal shoes...), but I have seen a few daring ladies in stilettos. This gives me hope.
