never mind, he's in Bruges

Did you ever see that '60s movie, If It's Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium?  I'm not particularly recommending it -- it's really lame -- but I thought of that yesterday, Tuesday. As I was writing about Jon being in Amsterdam, he was already on a train to Bruges, Belgium, where he and Chris will spend a couple days and take day-trips from there before heading to Paris later in the week.

How about the movie, In Bruges -- have you seen that one?  It was a small indie movie from a couple years ago -- kinda weird, but I liked it.  Jerry and Tom hated it (Too weird and occasionally violent for their tastes).  Bruges is a beautiful city, very "old world" but also not too exciting for very long.

Another Bruges footnote:  If you scroll down the left side of my blog and see the picture of Jerry, it's one I took of him as he was writing postcards -- in Bruges, when we were there several years ago.

By the way, Jon tells me that they liked Amsterdam.  Who wouldn't?

I'm looking forward to hearing what my son Jon thinks of Amsterdam (I heard through the grapevine that he's tired of cobblestones already).  He's been there since Sunday and will be heading south from there into Belgium in the next couple days.

The reason I'm anxious to hear about his visit is that Amsterdam is probably my favorite city in the world.  Jerry and I have been there numerous times, usually staying on a houseboat on one of the city's canals or on the Amstel River, and we got to know the city very well and love it... and I miss it.

The photo here is one that I took using a disposable camera.  I had the photo enlarged and framed, and it's hanging on the bedroom wall.  It brings good memories to wake up to.
