Kortrijk, Beglim

On the way home from Roubaix we stopped at this Belgian town that turned out to be really quaint. Our favorite part was the Begijnhof, a community for women who wanted to be in service to the church and to people, but did not want to be part of a convent. Very cute, modest, white houses. One is a B&B today. We enjoyed an evening stroll in the middle of which Eliot declared, "Ho, ho, ho Santa Claus." Don't know why.
