Talk About Peace! Try Brugge From the Water...

You kind of feel like royalty when you take a trip on the water around this fair town! Especially when people wave at you from the bridges you go under. Can you tell I fell in love with Brugge? I don't even really want to get on that plane tomorrow. But I have two new babies waiting for me to get to know so I guess I'll have to say "Au Revoir" and "Dag" and "See You Next Time, Europe"! It's been such a fabulous four months!! But wait - I've got pictures to come of one last supper with our friend before we hit the train back to our hotel in Brussels.

Love, Teddy (for Marijke and Ken and Saaby, too)

A Quiet Spot Away From the Crowds

What a surprise to find this lovely community tucked into the middle of Brugge - home for retired nuns and widows. It was so peaceful after the hubbub of the city around it.

P.S. The puppet in the picture is one Oma picked up for the grands -she'd been looking in every town in Europe and finally found a few! Now all she has to do is finish the puppet 'house' at home. Pictures will follow, I'm sure.

Did I Tell You About the Belgium Chocolate?

It's one of the best tastes in the world and well worth going back to this sweet country for! - TR (I dream of having baths in warm Belgium chocolate!)

Finally - Brugge in the Sunshine!

OK, I admit. I'm overdosing a bit now. Last stop and it's one of the best by far! How can I help but post way too many pics of Brugge, Belgium? It's so much nicer without the rain; I'm so glad we had the chance to come back... TR
