Last One Standing

​There was one local favorite I hadn’t yet tried…a ‘blond’ beer. So today was the day when we stopped for lunch.  Not bad at all, but I preferred the Black Pepper! 😆

And while I’m at it, some scenes from the day 💕…

We decided to make it our own 😂😂😂.

And leaving in the morning fully recharged!

Fresh produce is abundant here in Brugge! Walnuts up above, and melons down below 😃. 

A common scene around here. They are walking then because this section is under road construction, so the official bike lanes are cordoned off.  They aren’t nearly as scary when being walked! 😂😂😂

Just love these reflections! 

And I wondered if the Jesus on the bench had a face.  He does, so I took closer photos of the face and the feet…

It is tricky doing two blogs, and I prefer to do my own (adventuresinlateryears) first when I have more mental energy, but I had to do a bit of work (online) tonight, and time got away from me. I will rest now and give it a go in the morning 😌.  I don’t want to do a lackluster job of it.💕

Flight #3

​As tasty as ever! My favorite…Black Pepper!

Not a hint of pepper, but a lovely blend of tart flavors! 

And more ‘through a looking glass’ 💕!

Scenes from a palace 😌 …

Busts of various monarchs during the palace’s reign 😊  

More to come on ‘Girls in the Belfry😂.

Tight Connections

​If you would all say some prayers for our travel day tomorrow, I would sure appreciate it. The Lord has been so faithful to get us where we need to be thus far, and I’m so grateful for that. The tight connections will be tricky, but doable! But it is the stress of having to make a train that weighs the most heavily on our minds.💕

Believe it or not, this was a train station in Switzerland! 

And our Eurostar journey over to Italy💕  

Waiting on a regional train (they are notoriously behind schedule😂!)

And in Lake Como, Italy 🤗

Girls exhausted on a train 😂😂😂!

Training in Rome 😊

And in Edinburgh😆

Plus One’s first experience with trains in Europe.  Eurostar 👏👏…nothing but the best for him!💕

And Poland 🤗.  Trains are so very efficient, and at any time of day, you can usually find a train going somewhere. As a gentleman told us in the UK…”All trains go to London.”😂😂😂 

And now, off to the belfrey! 😆

Belfrey Challenge

​Today is the day! Even if there IS an elevator, we are going to try to walk all the way up. If we are allowed to.😂😂 As I was resting in bed in the wee hours of morning, I got to thinking how grateful I am that I am walking so much here. Typically, when I return after a time away in the United States, it takes me a while to get back in my groove, as I don’t go out and walk like I do at home, simply for not knowing the routes, nor the safety factor. And of course, I am without my dog (my 110 pound natural born killer😆) when I am traveling. But as I pondered, I realized how easy it’s going to be to get back into my routine! My two-mile walk with two hills will probably seem like a piece of cake after the belfries and the cobbled streets of Europe!😂👏👏👏👏

But how I love these cobbled streets! And my 110 pound natural born killer!
