When in Belgium..

..please, if you are an American tourist, do not ask the question aloud, “Hey, why is the German flag in Belgium?” It’s hard to defend against the astonished Europeans.
We were in Belgium and visited Kortrijk, Knokke, Brugge, and Brussels. It has been a year since I’ve seen the beach and Knokke brought it all back albeit a bit cold and very trendy. I wish I had taken pictures during the ride to Knokke. Along the way the land is wet and mushy and on more than one occasion we spotted animals that look like miniature woolly lambs. Some highlights of Knokke:
a walk along the beach
a moment with santa
wow, butt enhancer panties for 50 Euros
more Knokke pictures here.

Yeah, and do the French know the Dutch totally bogarted theirs?
How did you like Brugge? When I was last there, I was too young to appreciate it (15-16) and have a feeling I would benefit from another visit.

I think that there is a book to be written of things NOT to say as an American tourist in Europe. Maybe there would be State Department funding available...
Happy New Year!

@cliff: Brugge was beautiful, but over crowded with tourist. A great place to take pictures if you can find the space.
@pinger: yeah I got swept up in the festivities in Iserlohn. I managed a few phone calls, bummer I missed you.
@Chris: I'm convinced there are people who just loose all awareness of themselves when in a foreign setting. Americans are most susceptible to this, esp. in groups. Maybe a behavioral section should be included in all tourist books.
