]]> Thanks to the many canals and bridges (there are more than 80), Bruges Belgium is often referred to as “Venice of the North” and it is one of the most charming cities I’ve had the pleasure of visiting.

Bruges is located in the northwest corner of Belgium which is situated on the North Sea, below The Netherlands, west of Germany and Luxembourg and north of France. We drove from the south part of The Netherlands, through Brussels and stopped briefly in another quaint city, Ghent, to get to Bruges so it only took us about 3 hours and it was a really comfortable drive at that.

As are so many cities in Europe Bruges is filled with rich history, architecture, culture and charm to say nothing of the wonderful goodies available here and it just so happens that my father’s family originated out of Belgium so it was exciting to finally visit what I consider a piece of my family’s heritage. My first time visiting was in 2018 and I am certain it won’t be my last time.

This was a wonderful vacation through a country from which my heritage comes and it was really important to me to visit perhaps learn more about my family background. Considering the fact that Belgium is similar to The Netherlands where I was actually born it wasn’t a stretch to make the connection. But I definitely feel that my visit did help me to understand more about my family’s history. I’m very thankful for this trip and the family members who made the trip with me.
