Bruges, Belgium

After our stay in Amsterdam, we took a train South and a little bit West to Bruges, Belgium.  The train ride took a little bit longer than we had originally anticipated, but other than a visit to the local brewery, we were still able to do all we wanted in Bruges. Belgian waffles, mussels & French fries, plenty of fine Belgian beer, too much chocolate, a picturesque horse-drawn carriage ride through the old town, and dinner with two of Luke’s fellow EY-ers, we crammed a lot into our quick 12 hour stay. Just like our time in Bruges, I'll be brief and let the pictures do the rest. Enjoy!
