A Shithole.

Bruges is beautiful to look at but horrible to visit. There are people everywhere, like cockroaches. Most of the pubs Xavier wanted to see were not open during the day (wtf is that about?!), and the cobblestone streets make it hell to walk on. Oh, and it still smells of a sewer's foot. But Xave wanted to go, and looking back, we shoulda stayed longer in Antwerp or gone to Brussels.

Touring Antwerp

Out the door at 3:50 in the GD morning and taking the 6:30 flight to Brussels and then the train to Antwerp. The best part of today was getting the chance to show someone my favourite city and to have them be in awe of its beauty. As for me, I just loved taking snapshots of buildings, the tunnel, random sculptures, street art (of course), storefront windows, and a random Duke Wayne on horseback. Then it was back to the apartment for a late night screening of The World's End and a much needed night's sleep.

Houseguest

Look who's staying with me for a week at SLP!

"Manhunt" at Last!!!

The lovely gal behind the register at Tower Records on Dawson found the one and only copy they had of Manhunt and I was beyond thrilled! I went right home and watched all three episodes. It was really good (most anything Martin Clunes does is) and I read on Wikipedia that "On 6 March 2019, the show was renewed for a second series to premiere in 2020." How fabulous is that!? 

Wandering Through Temple Bar

Always on the lookout for new street art I decided to check out Temple Bar and take a bit of a walk.

 (My favourite Intra La Rue is still there, over two years later!)
