Sunday, April 5th 1992
Awakened about 9am by numerous cars arriving close to our tent and lots of conversation. All of a sudden the talking was gone. We assumed the people had come to the restaurant in the park for breakfast. But we learned later that this was not the case. Had our own church service of reading and absorbing one of the many sermons we ordered from our favorite minister in San Antonio and readings from the Bible.
About 11am loads of people returned from a 2 hour hike, took off their sweat suits, down to their bathing suits, and plunged into the cold, cold water! Temperature is about 40 degrees F outside. They had to be mad! This was a Swim Club consisting of all age people, young to old, and all in very good shape. We watched and tried to concentrate on our sermon lesson as we sat bundled in our goose down jackets, several layers of clothes and warm hats.
Departed Brugge about noon traveling farther north along the coast to Damme, Belgium. Traveled home on a picturesque side roads, arriving St. Germain about 6pm.
