On March 14, 2014, we went with 3 other
senior missionary couples to Brugge Belgium.
We drove there with:
Elder and Sister Wing,
Elder and Sister Smith, and
Elder and Sister Greenwood.
The night photos were amazing.
The moon was shining so brightly.
It is such a beautiful city.
One thing that Belgium is famous for is their
Chocolate!
Take a good look at this tower in the Cathedral
because the next day we climbed all 366 steps up
and 366 steps down.
The pictures from the tower are coming ...
I love taking photos of doors.
We ate dinner in this restaurant.
It was great.
We took the following pics from the tower:
The view from the tower was awesome!
These are just a few of the 366 steps!
When we finished our tower experience,
I thought I was going to be ill.
My poor knees didn't want to go any other place.
Inside one of the many churches.
Another great door!
This chest was very unique with many locks.
We were waiting to take a small cruise around town.
Elder J.
Sister and Elder Smith,
Elder and Sister Wing,
and Elder and Sister Greenwood.
The cruise was 1 hour long and it took us all
around town.
We felt like we had to duck to go under some of the bridges.
The swan pics are for you, Sis! :)
We found a fun little café to have Belgium waffles.
The inside of the café had many antiques.
Sister Greenwood and Sister Wing waiting for their order.
Elder Wing ordered hot chocolate and sweets.
The big hunk of chocolate on the top shelf is
what you drop in your large cup of hot mild.
It is to die for!
Elder Wing is getting ready to drop the chocolate into the mild.
Sister Greenwood and Sister J having their Belgium waffle.
As we were walking down the street, a cute couple stopped us
to talk to us because they were members of the church also.
They lived in Belgium!
Small world!
Since we were in Belgium, we had to go to a chocolate
museum and factory.
Chocolate melting.
They had a section in the museum that showed
the kinds of chocolate that was sold previously in Belgium.
And Jacques chocolate is a famous brand!
Things made of chocolate!
This statue is white chocolate.
Lunch in a nice restaurant that had these cute
hanging lights.
We went to a concert of a famous jazz guitarist
who played Cole Porter music.
Flowers were blooming in the lawns.
We got to see our first real windmill.
This is the English Channel where a famous
World War II battle took place.
We stopped at Flanders Field Memorial.
Many names of the fallen solders were listed on the monument.
We even found some "Jacques."
