“Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.” – Mark Twain
I try to keep up with some good habits in my life. The school year is a busy time for me. Good habits keep me sane and focused. Those habits have come in handy when I have visited other places over the years. When you travel somewhere, walking becomes the main way you get from place to place. Fortunately, as a teacher, walking is a normal part of my daily routine. People say the goal is to get 10,000 steps in a day. As an elementary school teacher, 10,000 is the minimum. When it came time for us to go from place to place in Europe, I had no problem with all of the walking we had to do.
One of my favorite parts of our trip to Europe was when we had the opportunity to walk around old cities. One of our stops was Belgium, and we took the bus from the port to Bruges. Bruges is filled with old buildings with amazing architecture. We spent the day touring an old church, checking out the different statues in town, and eating a Belgian Waffle in Belgium.
