Belgium

I went to Belgium this weekend with several friends. It was a great time. We stayed at the home of a couple friends. We went kayaking and mountain biking on Saturday and saw the city of Gent on Sunday. It was great. I really love short trips with people. I think it really builds and/or solidifies friendships.

The kayaking and mountain biking reminded me just how much I miss the outdoors and outdoor activities. I had a blast. One of my buddies and I spent probably close to half an hour trying to ride through a puddle that was WAY too deep to be able to get through. The water was up past the pedals, probably two-and-a-half feet (or approximately 76cm) deep.

I really liked this picture, which I took from the top of a castle in Gent, because it shows the beautiful architecture I saw in Gent as the backdrop to the Belgian flag. I really liked Belgium.

Thanks to everyone for all the comments lately. I really appreciate it!
