Ghent, Day One

Today we explored Gent, the city we have been staying in for the past few days. We went to multiple museums, visited a few churches, and ate lunch at a fancy lil’ restaurant. At that restaurant I drank some coffee out of a really cute mug, and the sugar they gave were in cubes, which I have never seen before. We were going to go to a restaurant for dinner for some classic Belgian waffles, but the place ended up closing for the night at 5:30pm, so plans had to be adjusted.

My favorite part of the day was the last art museum we went to. It contained pieces of the Ghent Altarpiece that were in the process of restoration. There were so many rooms in the museum that each time I thought I was turning to go back to the lobby, I ended up in a completely new place with all new pieces of art. But if I had to be lost anywhere, I am glad it was there. A few of my favorite artworks are pictured below.
