Ghent, Belgium, July 2012

From Amsterdam we took the train to Ghent, Belgium, where we stayed for 3 nights.  We chose Ghent because it is in between Bruges, Antwerp and Brussels.  We had also heard that it is less touristy than Bruges and since it has a university, a but more lively.  We loved Ghent!  It was one of our favorite places in Belgium.  The canal, the buildings, all the great beer, the awesome vegetarian meal we had, our wonderful hostess, sharing it with our friends from San Jose....we would go back in a heartbeat!
