A word to you wise coming to Europe . . . don't drive if you can train it. Case in point. The next week we decided mid-week to head to Brugges, a gorgeous medieval Belgian city full of chocolate and canals. Supposedly only 2 hours by car, but 2 1/2 to 3 by train, Ryan arranged to hitch a ride to work with a co-worker and we got up early to beat the crowds, leaving Maastricht before 7. It took us over 4 hours to arrive (and over 3 to get back!), but once there we have a lovely time mostly walking and eating. Was it worth the 7 hours in the car? Don't ask me . . . I'm not the one who sat in the back and had to read "Fly Guy" to Ellie about 100 times while we moved 10 kilometers in an hour and a half. But we did score some fabulous chocolate.
