Traveling with Mr. Golden Underwear.
If it’s Wednesday, it must be Belgium. We are In Bruges. However, in Belgium, they pronounce it Brew-ha! You may ask “What’s the Brew-ha-ha about Brew-ha?” The 1st answer is the brew Actually, they have 1680 different brands of beer here with many bars having all of them in stock. A teenager can ask la bartender, “What’s on tap?”, and turn the drinking age by the time they get an answer. They are also known for their chocolate, as Bruges is the place where chocolate first came to Europe. It originated as a creation by a pharmacist, who coated drugs to mask their bad taste. With that, I’d become a Crestor addict. Much like Quake with his daily pills wrapped in cheese, I’d find a way to have the chocolate coating and spit out the chewy medicinal center. So much tastier than leeches. They also specialize in waffles. I saw an infertility clinic here called Let Go of My Eggo! They also are known for their pomme frites.
As Bruges is named for having many bridges, we went on a boat ride in the canal. We had a celebrity sighting, when we passed a volleyball floating in the canal. It turns out, Wilson from the Tom Hanks movie, “Castaway” summers in Bruges.
Bruges is an unbelievably beautiful city with Old World Medieval charm in its architecture. The people were very warm and engaging, but the locals tend to cough incessantly. I though this was odd, but then I realized; they’re just Flemish.
