I wonder if there is such thing as drinking too much beer!? Today was spent in Bruges getting to do all of the things we ran out of time for yesterday. And then of course to do things we got to do yesterday but were so much fun, that we thought we'd do them again, like drink beer.

We spent time going to The Basilica of the Precious Blood from the 12th century where according to tradition, the 'Holy Blood" of Jesus was brought back from Jerusalem by Derrick the Alsace and entrusted to the city of Bruges in 1150.

We also went in to The Church of Our Lady, where there are amazing pieces of work including the Madonna and Child sculpted by Michelangelo.

We also hung out in De Burg where the Town Hall, Palace of Justice, and old Bishop's Palace used to be. The architecture is out of this world.

I'm too tired to write much more. It's been a long warm day!!!

We all had to be very pious inside of The Church. We took turns getting to say a prayer over the Holy Blood.
