Brugges and Dunkerque



Ok, so this is going to be a picture blog post about Brugges and Dunkerque.
Buildings in the city center
Everyone's out and about on a Saturday
Really cool looking door I noticed while we were walking around.  The carvings were the cool part of the door.

Brugges is supposed to be the Venice of Belgium.


Neat part of a building we saw
This could be a postcard picture.


Hope you enjoyed Brugges! Onto Dunkerque!

Dunkerque is going to require a little explanation.  We arrived there just in time for the Carnaval celebrations.  It's basically a Mardi Gras celebration except using a different name. Now I've never been to Mardi Gras in New Orleans, but something tells me the celebrations here outdo what goes on in New Orleans.  Just see for yourself....

We did just that as well.  I'm pretty sure whoever created the definition of  "chaos" and "mad house" definitely had this in mind. It was CRAZY!
Everyone dresses up for Carnaval...
Men dress like women and vice versa, and then there are just some really ridiculous looking costumes.
So there is a parade for Carnaval, and after the parade all the spectators link arms and follow behind the parade....




There

are

NO

words 

to 

describe what we saw during Carnaval! 
No costumes? No problem! Throw some face paint on and you fit right in!
