belgium

Just over a year ago, I went to Belgium for the first time. We stayed in Brussels the first night then headed to Bruges for a night. Bruges is a big tourist destination around Christmastime; it's all decorated with lights and there was a Christmas festival in the town's center, with an ice skating rink, lots of crafts vendors, wine and chocolate. The Church of Our Lady is one of the more famous landmarks in Bruges, and there are a lot more medieval towers and buildings in the town. It's very cute and romantic, and gorgeous around Christmas. Brussels was a lot of fun - we spent the evening wandering around the old buildings and churches, parks and streets, drinking beer and had the best moules frites.
