Christmas Markets!

Lile

On Saturday, December 11, we went to Lile, France.  It was cool but there wasn’t much to do and it wasn’t as nice as Bruges. :(

A Cathedral we poked around.

I like my game of “Spot the American flag!”

Tiny little square with a Ferris wheel.

Leffe. YUM! We ate at a Leffe Cafe and had two of these bad boys each.

Smiles :)

Père Noël

A bunch of Père Noëls

You really can't take us anywhere.

Some guy?  I think I was trying to get a picture of the buildings too because they looked so cool.

Yummy!

Brandy eating a giant waffle…don’t tell her it’s fake.

Bruges

I went to Bruges for the third time, on December 4.  It’s out of order because I figured you’d all be sick of Bruges pictures by now.  This was a cool trip because a girl who lives in our building actually arranged this for everyone! It was only 40 pounds to go and we had a great time.  Even if some people decided to wear a mini skirt in the middle of winter…

Awesome instrument!

I climbed up the tower in the center of that building

Their market.

Church of the Holy Blood.  They have a vial containing the blood of Jesus.  Pretty cool.

This is actually the side of the church.

Inside the tower, with Kat’s face.

They had a giant music box thing that played music every 15 minutes.  So cool!
