Trip to Europe this summer
I would like to share some photo's of a trip we took to Germany and Belgium.
Winds off the North Sea blowing sand in Belgium
Bicycles are popular in Brugge
Half Timbered house along the canal in Brugge
The masonry work was exceptional
The canal at night in Brugge
Example of artwork in a Church in Germany
Monastery interior made famous in the movie "Name of the Rose"
Another interior of the same monastery
Small village along the Rhine River in Germany
Model of the atom built at the World Exposition in Brussels in 1958
Brussels
View of vineyards along the Rhine from a Castle
No shortage of grafitti in Germany
A treasure vault full of priceless goodies at the castle Burg Eltz.
How about a gold walking stick, don't forget a gold watch on top!
While visiting the Holy Sand Jewish Cemetery in Worms (2,000 tombstones dating back to 1076) as if on que, some Hasidic Jews stroll by.
Impressive selection of fruit and produce in Brugge.
The charm of Brugge extends beyond the architecture!
A couple of horse carriage drivers having a conversation before going back to work.
How about a set of steel doors for your Baja Casa?

Great photos, Ken. Especially bicycles!  I was wondering, inasmuch as
you obviously spent time there, your choice of the Dutch spelling of Brugge. It is generally spelled Bruges outside of Flanders. I'm thinking that not
too many Nomads are aware of the strange country that is known as Belgium. Basically consisting of the French Walloons and the Dutch Flems. Really
didn't want to hijack your thread, and Bruges (Brugge) is a most enchanting town.

You are right about the numerous ways of spelling Brugge. We agreed to spell it Brugge after the consensus within the City was the way we spelled it.
The point is, however, no matter how you spell it is a magical place.
Picture of a city display of a map made out of Lace. Note the spelling!

Nice, very nice. Brugge is a place I would really like to visit---have heard so much about it.
Enjoyed all the pix, but my favorite is the night shot of the canal---nice curve, great reflection and so peaceful. Just beautiful.
