By now I am home from my trip but I still want to share some pictures. These are from the town of Ghent. You may remember the famous "altar piece of Ghent." I was so looking forward to seeing it, but we needed reservations and did not have the time to fit it in.
Today, as I write this [March 25th] I took the bike ride in Rotterdam. On the ride I was hit by a motorcycle, a first for me. I came out fine but the bike is going to need some work.
I would have to tell you that my favorite part of the trip so far has been the town of Ghent.

Kind of a shame to have all of these amazing churches, that no one attends. I think the good ol' USA is heading that direction.
It did make me happy to know that there was a time when everyone went to church, everyone loved God and they built some fantastic sanctuaries.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
