#4: Brugge

I suppose it would be a complete shame if I wrote about the wonderful places of Belgium and neglected to mention the town of Brugge which seems to be one of the most visited towns in this country. It's many canals and ancient buildings make it a desirable place to see and photograph. It is like walking back into time and seeing things as they once might have been--complete with modern day burger joints, french fry stands, and hordes of confused tourists. While I tend to be somewhat annoyed and overwhelmed by tourists, I can't help but see the reason this town attracts so many of them. I would not want to deny anyone the chance to see such a beautiful town and take such a unforgetable boat ride. Also, one of my favorite statue is located there. It consists of two monks holding one another up and is outside some buildings that used to be a religious hospital. I love the emotion that it captures, and it just reminded me when I saw it that as humans we are forced to rely on other humans. We all tread similar paths and it helps if you have someone to lean on along the way.
