Stole 3 men and went to Amsterdam

Yesterday we had a very relaxing day walking around Brugge and enjoying the peaceful town. We stopped for some vegetarian fries, chocolate, and waffles..all extremely healthy but very good Belgian staples. Dont worry the flow of beer came later that day...never underestimate the appetite of two girls on a 5 week adventure. We later went out to a nice outdoor restaurant that was recommended by our hostel desk man. We again didn't make it out for food till about 10 pm after another full day of hanging around the city. We enjoyed some good local dishes and a few beers recommended by the waitress (thanks barb and Doug for the bday dinner!!!). About an hour into our meal a few business men came in for a few beers and struck up some entertaining convo. After playing twenty questions, jealousy and confusion was painted all over their faces. I think they were trying to figure out why they didn't have such a brilliant idea and are now stuck with eachother bickering like little school girls on this work trip ;-) Needless to say they begged, like children, for us to kidnap them so this painful thing called a job would disappear (how's that for a shout out fellas? It was fun, thanks for making it interesting) Moving on...we decided to find a pub for one more drink before heading back to the hostel. I'm beginning to think that everyone can tell by just looking at us that we're American, the hellos and how are yous in English come without hesitation. This morning we woke early to rent some bikes for the day, we decided to take a trip to the beach. This nice leisurely stroll passing through a nearby village was supposed to be an hour trip. Let's just say it took us 2 hours and we made friends with quite a few meaty cows, sheep and I believe some geese...Indiana really knows how to haunt us. All in all it was worth it in the end, the beach was pretty and we saw some amazing views, it was the ride back that we were really dreading. We're now on the train headed to Amsterdam to "the flying pig" can't wait to see what kind of stories this brings...

P.S. The post right before this one (bed bugs) has been pushed down before this next one for some reason-can't miss the highlights of brussels...
