Surprise, Surprise

Sometimes you just have to take a leap of faith.

Since we love Belgium, we decided to head to a couple cities off of the normal European tourbooks. This time, we made the trip with our friends Tony and Jenny and decided on Ghent and Antwerp. We threw Brugge (an old stanby) into the mix since it was nearby but we discovered two fantastic cities with as much beauty and charm as many that we have seen. Both places were filled with views that made us question how much of Europe we have seen. If there are cities like this everywhere that you can't find in Frommer's or AAA guides, how long would it take for us to see every great place in every country? Another year? A decade? I'm starting to think a lifetime.....

Photos to come later this week.

Doing some relaxing today since it's another long holiday weekend in Germany. This one is for German labor day. We've got the short work week and then it's off to Dublin next weekend.

I can NOT wait.
