bumming around belgium
This weekend we decided to take a short road trip to Belgium. We were able to stay at Elgin’s friends’ house and, through the course of the weekend, we got to see some beautiful portions of the country.
Our first day we traveled to Gent to see Gentse Feesten. Although we weren’t entirely sure of what they were celebrating (it has something to do with nooses, the Spanish, etc.) we did understand the medium of celebration: music and beer.
Our canal boat ride was a perfect illustration of the festival. For six Euros we got a 40-minute boat ride past beautiful castles and a live concert. Oh, and each ticket came with a complimentary beer.
The next day we drove an hour to one of the closer beaches. Once the sun finally emerged from the clouds it turned into a lovely day full of Frisbee and swimming.
Here are a few of the images I took while in Belgium.
