Day 21… Today we went on a tour of Bruges. While on our tour of the city we learned that the city is shaped like an egg. It is also has lots of rivers and canals that go through the city. In older times these were used for lots of things, like protection from outsiders. Our tour guide also told us that Bruges was a center place for people trading goods. After our day of touring we all enjoyed a wonderful dinner at a local Chinese restaurant, where Kala’e and I had previously eaten lunch. Then after dinner a few of us went to grab a beer for the last night that we could justify doing so. 
Day 22… Today is the last full day in Belgium. To start the morning off we all went to an art museum. It was very interesting to see how local artists (or local to this side of the world) depict different stories from history. It was also wild how risqué some of the paintings were compared with the very conservative paintings of our area. I also thought it was crazy how much detail artist put into their paintings. After the museum we all spilt our different ways for the afternoon. After picking up a few last minute souvenirs Amanda and I worked on our beer recipe. At 5 pm we all met for a last beer at Delirium (a bar with around 2500 different beers). After drinking one last Belgium beer we all went to our last supper, if you will. That is all for now, as we will be leaving early tomorrow morning.
