At home in Bruges

Exchanging homes with a local resident made possible our extended stay in a 17th-century townhouse in the heart of the medieval Flemish city of Bruges (locals call it Brugge). This published article describes my experiences in Bruges.

Good to see everyday life in Bruges, other than the usual well photographed tourist sites!
