Anne and I started the day by going to the Groeninge Museum to look at some fine art by primitive Flemish artists (meaning, ones of the fourteenth century that were in process of developing three-dimensional perspective). I love Flemish/Dutch art from the fourteenth to the sixteenth century because of its rich detail and presentation of ordinary people as just as interesting as wealthy, politically powerful people. I am looking forward to seeing more in Amsterdam. Bruges was celebrating Labor Day today by having many marching bands and lots of beer drinking. Anne and I layed low and went for a quiet dinner at an Italian restaurant. The pictures today are of the ever beautiful canal, plus one of bicycle art--I just can't help myself!
