We had a great trip out to Cambridge and spent one more day in London. We hung out in the afternoon at Hyde Park, went to an organ recital at St. Paul's Cathedral and visited the Bag O'Nails pub before getting on our bus.
We only spent 2 days in Belgium. We enjoyed some good Belgian beer, Belgian chocolate and of course a Belgian waffle. That was a calorific delight! Ha! I'm not sure how they make them, but they're kind of crispy almost with a more soft middle coated with sugary, honey-like stuff. Then it's topped with whipped cream and chocolate! On our second day there we took a day trip to Ghent. It was a very cute little town with all sorts of little shops and cafes. We found a great chocolate shop there and put together and little sampling of truffles. Phill asked the woman working there which ones were her favorites. She looked at him as if to say -- "how could you ask me to choose?" She's obviously in the right line of work...she loves them all. She helped us put together an assortment...caramel, coffee flavors, crisps, amaretto, cookie, vanilla, white chocolate, etc.
After enough days in Europe, you would think that cities and countries would start to look alike, but they don't. Belgium had some of the most unique architecture that we've seen yet. The building fronts are highly detailed and decorated and hide the steep roofs behind them. From the front, some look almost 2 dimensional.
We are now outside of Stuttgart, Germany visiting Summer and Kashyap who are living here for 3 years while Kashyap is a contractor for the army. They have a great place here in a village called Wildberg. It's very authentically German with great access to so many cool sites. I'm not sure what we'll occupy our week with, but it's sure to be a good time!
