We decided to cruise over to Belgium on Saturday with a few friends to see what it had to offer. We drove to Bruges, a small, quaint city. After making a pit-stop in Lille, France for lunch, we arrived around 3:00. We walked through the narrow, cobblestone streets, stopped at canal side restaurants for a local brew, played darts... nothing fancy, but a great time!
We found a store that served and sold all Belgian brewed beers. We enjoyed a few on the terrace in the early evening and then returned on Sunday morning before we left to buy some. There were 1,130 different kinds to buy. Those Belgians don't joke around when it comes to beer!
In the afternoon, in front of the church in the main square, we saw a sign for an
Airbag Festival (better known as an accordion band festival) that began on Friday night and lasted the rest of the month. After dinner and darts, we stumbled upon the site and listened for a while. It was great! Unfortunately, we were only able to listen for 15-20 minutes before it was over. We all wished we would have found it sooner.
On Sunday, we planned to drive to the north coast but instead we stayed in Bruges a little longer.
