Day 2: In Bruges

We had an amazing day in Bruges yesterday, and I love that little city! It's so darn cute. Every part of it looks like something out of a fairytale. Oh and the De Halve Maan Brewery has hands-down the best brewery tour we've ever been on. The brewery itself is really cool with lots of history, but the part that makes it so great is the tourguide. She seems to give all of the English tours, and she is absolutely hilarious. Our whole tour was cracking up the entire time. Oh and the brewery has a LOT of crazy staircases you have to climb (she said that's why they give you the beer after the tour is over). But the reward is an amazing view at the end.
Here's handsome McGee! And he's looking slightly annoyed that I'm taking a picture of him while we're trying to figure out where we're going. 

This is Michelangelo's Madonna and Child in the Church of Our Lady in Bruges. It's the only work of Michelangelo's to leave Italy during his lifetime. It also plays an important role in the movie Monuments Men, if any of you have seen that!

Here it is again... 

This is Dumon. It has THE BEST chocolate. It's this very small shop that's family-owned and operated, and they make their chocolates fresh daily. It is SO delicious - definitely the best chocolate I've ever had.

Bruges! 

Bruges again! This was a view from the De Halve Maan Brewery tour. 

Yeah... Is this a fairytale scene or what??
