On the streets of Bruges

Because the forecast was cold and rainy, I had to pack more sweaters than I normally would have. Last year in Paris at thsi same time, I was wandering around withoutt a jacket. This year, sweaters and my winter coat.

So I couldn't bring as many goodies home as I would normally have done, but that's oaky. Photos are my favorite souvenirs anyway.


Not that I let it stop me from window shopping. Bruges has lovely shops, and because they have a lot of gray and rainy weather before the spring breaks through, they have a whimsical way of decorating the exteriors of businesses with fake flowers. It's totally ridiculous and charming and made me smile.

Also quite a few of the shop windows did the same. Being in a chocolate town right before Easter meant that the chocolatier's windows were top-tier. I tried to get as many of them as I could.
