Beautiful Brugge!

So yesterday was a full day. We got up, had some breakfust and checked out of our hotel. We walked to see the Mannekin Pis - which was right next to our hotel. There was a large crowd of people, but we got a picture and left (we also took a hilarious picture of Adam standing in a Mannekin Pis cut-out). We walked to the train station and hopped on a train to Brugge. It was a quick ride and we got off and walked into town. It's so nice here. I like it SO much. All the streets are cobblestone and the buildings are old. We went to a B&B suggested in my travel book, but it was full. They pointed us to another one, but it was full too. They pointed us to one next door - and they had space! We are staying on the second floor of a charming house. I love it. It has steep, narrow stairs, and our room is great. After we dropped our stuff off we walked around a lot. We had fast-food lunch, then walked more. We went to the Onze Lieve Vrouwekerk (Church of Our Lady) where Michelangelo's "Madonna and Child" statue is. The church was so big inside. We also walked through a market, and i got a necklace with a heart on it. Adam bargained a Euro off ^_^
We came back and took a nap - which was nice. For Dinner we went to the Markt, where the Belfort is, as well as a bunch of restaurants. We sat outside (heated) and i got some grilled salmon and cherry beer and adam had mussels in white wine and some local beer 😊
Earlier in the day (before our nap) we went into a beer shop (The Temple of Beer) and bought some bottles. We drank 2 yesterday - I had a banana beer and Adam had a lemon beer. Mine was sooo good. We have 2 left - an apple beer and a trappist beer.
After dinner we called our families. Mom & Dad were talking a lot. I think they miss me 😊
Then we went to Restin's Lucifernum to drink. It was pretty cool. THe bar was down in a smallish room that had lots of nude women paintings, life-sized wooden statues and a lot of busts. I got a banana & rum drink. It was strong but very tasty. Adam and I split a warm drink too. It was a really fun evening and I slept well 😊
This morning we had breakfast, which was very nice (i had pear yougart! mmm) and after this we are heading out again -- hopefully to get some chocolate and take a small boat ride in the canals.
