Brugges - a nunnery and a cathedral

We went trecking down the winding streets of Brugges looking for a cathedral that housed an original Michelangelo statue.

While in the church I listened to a group of African women, touring, who spontaneously broke out into  an awe -inspiring hymn. I wish I had had a tape recorder.

Here is the Madonna statue - a little blurry though.

So here is the nunnery...

This convent was so pastoral and peaceful it made me want to live here...

maybe cuz my favorite handmade chocolate store was right across the street. So where are all the nuns?

Oh wait here's a nun now

and she lives right here on "Holy Ghost street"

This charming fellow's job is to keep evil sprits away.

Now its back to Holland for the last few days.
