A Lovely Day in Brugge :)

I am typing on a French keyboard...so this will take a while! I spent the entire day traversing Brugge. It was amazing...the architecture was mesmerizing...the town is so 'dainty'...the chocolates delicious...the coffee strong...the lace stores, very unique...the cobbled roads impossible to walk on :) and the history of the town captivating...It was another day of walking in the cold...but it was sooo worth it! I am definetely going back! I even managed to talk english to french speakers and it was quite entertaining :) The Gruuthuse by the frozen river was breathtaking! Oooh and I had the best toasted waffle with sugar...The pictures will come later...when I have access to my computer. I got to Lille about an hour ago... I am couchsurfing here...for the first time ever...so this should be fun! I am going to spend tonight and tomorrow here and then head to out to Paris later tomorrow night! Still figuring out what to do here...
Quick note: If you speak english, its pretty easy to get by in Belgium- therez tons of english translations...I am quickly learning that France is a different story!
