Ghent

Ghent or Gent whichever way you spell it is the true hidden gem of a city within Belgium a little gritty, a little rebellious with a whole lot of beautiful thrown in, totally unafraid to go its own way and my favorite place in Belgium. This scene is of my favorite place to have a beer in the city, Het Waterhuis a brown pub on the Groentenmarkt an old brothel turned Bierhuis that serves over 160 beers in a style so popular it recently consumed the restaurant beside it. Some places you visit fit your soul like an intricate key in a lock and for me this was Ghent, walking around the city felt like a return home to a place you have never been, everything familiar and unfamiliar all at once but never to be forgotten.
