Saturday May 21: Today Melanie and I were slow to get going since the little get together last night. Our room was a disaster area this morning! Lindsey had gotten up and was leaving with some of the group to go to Bruges on the train, which is a town with canals going through it. They rented bikes and rode around the city and then took the train to the coast of the English Channel. Then some of the guys went to Amsterdam for the day. Sounds like they had a gr...

So I decided to stay behind. Michelle and I are the only ones who opt...

Afternoon class was a two hour historic walking tour of Antwerp which was really cool but at the same time oh so boring, the people who know me know how much I just loveeee guide tours….. ;) We did get to see some pretty cool things tho and went into some churches and saw the ...
