Friday, May 27th we jumped in the car and drove 2 hrs. away to Folkestone England to get on the Eurotunnel to Calais France. It was a fun experience as we drove our car onto a train to go underneath the English Channel. It was a 35 min ride and then we drove to Bruges Belgium with a pit stop in Dunkirk France. I must say, I am glad Randy was driving because once we reached France we switched sides of the road. We spent the holiday weekend in Belgium and enjoyed the wonderful dutch community and the food!
