Traveling through Belgium is like
reading a history book of Europe,
the pages of which contain the
record of man's struggle for freedom.
Because it has so often been
wounded, oppressed and bruised
Belgium has placed against the
background of her landscape
the memories of her past:
the belfries recalling her struggles;
the churches, the spirit of her faith;
the castles, the sentinels of her splendor.

My collage does not do justice to the Historic Center of Bruges. It was too large to take it all in, plus the crowds of people were everywhere. But I still loved it.
