Sorry, this is long overdue... and the keyboard im typing with has a different layout than what i'm used to so please be forgiving of spelling errors!
Brugge was absolutely wonderful, in fact it felt like 3 days of pure bliss. i stayed at the home of Annelies and spent time with her as well as other frisbee buddies. Every night we sat in their garden (gardens are our equivelent of a yard/patio/garden. in the states.) we would eat delicious food; a lot of olives, cheese, and fish, and drank like royalty. All the while sharing stories and talking about cultural differences with Annelies' parents. It was the most comfortable I have been in months. Even though Annelies' parents had their differences from my own, they shared the same ability to welcome their child's friends. It was very reminiscent of all the times i had friends over in my garden and my parents would give us food, drink, and friendly chatter. It was really wonderful.
As for the city of Brugge, it's one large tourist attraction...but for good reason. Many of the tourists were older, the land is pretty flat and it's much easier for older people to get around Brugge, it's not as large as other tourist cities. But the city is absolutely beautiful, very rich in history, and full of good beer!
