Europe Vacation
Brugge, Belgium
Wednesday June 30 - Thursday July 1, 2004


We left Amsterdam early Wednesday morning & took a train to Brugge, Belgium. The 4 of us absolutely LOVED Brugge! It's a wonderful quaint little town with very friendly people. After our disappointment with Brussels (you'll read about it on the next page), we were wishing we had spent 2 days in Brugge instead.


There are a lot of pictures, so if you get an empty box with just an X in it, right-click the box and select Show Picture.
