Left Brussels Tuesday [Aug. 2] 4:15 P.M.
Arrived Bruges 6:25 P.M.
Hotel du Londres 3.50 Fr.[francs] a bed, Table de Hote meals, excellent and moderate prices. We had a little
walk after dinner.
The next morning [Wednesday Aug. 3] we continued our walk through the old
streets, and over the canals, enjoying the same quaint Gothic houses, the
picturesque views at every crooked turn. The Belfry, the many churches and
cathedrals give a beautiful outline to the roofs of the little town. We went to the
Hospital St. John where I again marveled at the exquisite workmanship and the
beauty of Meurling’s pictures: The Legend of St. Ursula, Adoration of the Magi,
and the Marriage of St. Catherine, etc. Mike, too, enjoyed these pictures as no
others he has seen I think, with perhaps the exception of some in the Tate
Gallery in London.
Umbrella No. 4.
To lose three umbrellas is unfortunate; to lose four is "extremely careless"!
