After missing our train to Belgium, David and I decided to accept that this was an adventure. We quickly learned how to cancel tickets (even though we missed the train, we could get a refund on our tickets by cancelling tickets), purchase international train tickets in a foreign country, and make friends with English speaking employees to get to our destination. We finally made it to Brugges a few hours after we had originally hoped. Brugges is an amazingly beautiful city from the time of the Templar Knights and Crusades.

| All aboard! |

| Playing a game of trouble on the way |
 |
| Amelia fell asleep 10 minutes before we came into the station to change trains. Having her sleep in my arms is a RARE occasion, and I love every minute of it! |
 |
| Cathedral of the Holy Blood (Amelia's favorite thing about Brugges) |
 |
| This is supposedly a relic of Jesus' blood on a cloth. Amelia was obsessed with looking at it. She started calling this church The Jesus Died church. Since we traveled during Holy Week, I guess it was appropriate to talk about the Easter story. |

| CHOCOLATE! |
 |
| Belgian Waffles in Belgium |
 |
| This is a HUGE chicken made out of chocolate! |
 |
| Our cab driver on the way back to the train station is a famous pool player who came home to Belgium after an injury from a car crash. |
Next stop....Paris!
