Chocolate and Lace

---

Bruges is a nice clean little town that you can pretty much walk through the main part in an hour or so.Every other shop is either a chocolate or a lace shop. Two things Belgium is famous for.So I went to the Church of Holy Blood and saw the piece of cloth in the glass vial that apparently has drops of Jesus blood on it when he was taken from the cross.There is a man there at the altar guarding it and you can touch the vial and say a prayer then when you are done he immediately wipes the vial off with a rag and he is wearing gloves.The church inside is really ornate and quite pretty.No photos though😞 I also saw Michelangelo's Madonna and Child this piece is one of his that is not in Italy so it is rare.I walked up the 366 stairs of the Belfry as well .There are some really good views from up there.All in all I enjoyed Bruges.Tomorrow its off to Amsterdam!!
