Brugges

Tom went to the races. Ellyn, Peter and I went to the chocolate museum. Way fun. Peter and I participated in a chocolate workshop. 

That little girl thinks Peter is hogging the bag. 

My lot is in the front. The teacher was darling, a real chocolate enthusiast. She had answers for all Peter's questions. 

The next morning we went on a tour of the last brewery that actually makes beer in within the city walls.  It included a glass of their best. Here are views from the top of the brewery. Scary stairs.

In medieval times no buildings were allowed to be taller than the cathedral. 

Here is the Begijnhof where women of status lived when their husbands died or they went off to the crusades. They are still inhabited.

Here is the Bier Temple. We contributed to the local economy by purchasing a few bottles. 

We rented a lovely apartment perfect except for the scary spiral stairs to the second floor. 

Now we are off to Paris on the train from Brussels.
