I am getting ready to leave one of my favorite cities in the world: Bruges (Brugge), Belgium and I thought I should take a bit of time to close out the first phase of our monthly challenge.

About the drunken cyclist

I also put an arbitrary “deadline” as the “first week in July” (can you tell I used to be a high school teacher?).
