Bruges

Bruges was so much fun! When we left the train station to find the hostel we met these English brothers who were the most ridiculous and hilarious people I've ever met. Instead of finding the hostel we found some beer and after a few hours we decided we all needed to find our hostels and get rid of the bags. We met up with them like an hour later and went to a local bar with a friend that they had met on the train. Bruges is really quite pretty. There's a giant fountain in the middle of one square and in another a really big church with the most beautiful bells I've ever heard. We all stayed out pretty late and this club off one of the main squares.

When Erin and I woke up the next morning we met this 19 yr old kid from Sacramento. The three of us went to breakfast because of course we had to have a waffle!! While sitting down eating the two brothers and the girl that one of them picked up came walking by! I guess it's a really small town because we just kept running into them. We had breakfast and a few beers and decided to just drink our way through the city. The girl that one of them picked up and was very eager for her to leave went to the beach with her friends so the guy was pretty happy. We did a really good job of that. I mean there's something like 4000 beers and all five of us Kept ordering five different beers and passing them around so everyone could try them. I'm pretty sure most of my pictures from Bruges are just the different beers we had.

The older brother got absolutely drunk so the younger one was going to take him back and put him to bed. Erin left to go call her bf thing and never actually came back. Both of the brothers came back under the condition that Jaime was cut off! That lasted for about a half hour. It was such a fun night and so many things happened.

The next morning Erin and I and the guy from our hostel went to get breakfast again before going to the train station and guess who came walking by again!? Such a small world. We had a few beers and it turned out we all had to catch a train to Brussels. The brothers were going back to London and the 19 yr old was going to paris. We made it to Brussels were we just bar hopped until everyone left. It's probably kind of sad but I'm at the point of I'm sick of sightseeing and being touristy and now I'm just drinking my way through towns. I'm definitely glad that I will be home in a month. Tomorrow marks my three month anniversary of traveling and it's been an amazing time. I've learned so much and met so many different interesting people.
