Brugges. 
The Venice of the North.

I loved Brugges. Such a beautiful, quaint European town. After we finally found our B&B and drug our suitcases on cobble stone for 1.5 miles we really had a great time :) A few highlights: Shopping through lots of lace stores for the perfect piece; The Cathedral and Michelangelo's Madonna and Child statue; cruise on the canal through the city.

So cute. Our BnB is on the far left.

Mom eating yummy pasta.

Dumon Chocolates-- THE BEST! These are the owners.

Bell Tower. 366 steps to the top!

I loved this building.

Brick ceiling so amazing.

Madonna and Child.

The last supper.

Gorgeous stained glass.

My mom's favorite photo-- the door with no handle. We must let Him enter.

Check this out -- she is making lace. AMAZING.

Watching this woman make lace was an UNREAL experience. It's incredible. This piece will take her 15 hours to complete. She can only sell it for $25 Euros.

We stumbled upon an orchestra concert!


Canal ride.





Where's waldo?



Lace shopping was my favorite activity!

We found the locals neighborhood and walked a lot of these quiet streets. So fun!
