Steph and I just got back from Brugge. It was our little vacation to celebrate us getting back together again after the deployment. We both agree that not only Brugge, but Belgium itself is very underrated. I would even agree that it might be more romantic than Paris!Yeah I said it! So we got to our lovely hotel, which was more than I thought would be. The room was nice even though there was no shower curtain and the beds were just pushed together to form a super bed. Breakfast was included, which is something that we look for now. We learned out lesson in Brussles. The center of the town was only a few minutes walk from where we stayed. There was a little store called the Beer Temple, on the way, and which I stopped twice. I actaully tried something new to eat there, which suprised even me. Turns out that I like something called Chicken in the Brugges style. Apparently, I perked up when I was told that it was a beer sauce. We tried our first beer there, called Leffe. After working on the half liter for a little bit, I turned to Steph and told her with every bit of seriousness, that " It hit me like a brick oven." I did not even notice what I said until the laughter went on histarically for a little bit. She even made sure to write that down. While we were there, we climbed the Belfrey, which was small beans compared to the Eifel tower. It was only 366 steps. There was also a lovely view to compliment us on our achievement of climbing to the top. We got a very nice copper tea kettle/coffee maker there as well. We were sure to note that the bottom had handmade in Belgium on it, as per all the antique shows that we see on the British channels. We would be sure to visit Brugge again if we ever get the chance.
