Chris J. arrived from the US and is joining me for a few days. We spent the evening walking around in Ghent, and had a great excursion. Ghent is quite well preserved with small streets, and an extensive tram system.
There are also many new buildings and an extensive shopping area. Overnight on the Leie River moorings with a thunderstorm prepared us for the trip up the Leie in rain. Gorgeous estate homes with immaculate gardens, this section of the river is very pretty and peaceful.

We arrived back onto the commercial waters at Deinze, where we stopped at the market, got provisions,, a little walkabout, and then on to Kortrijk, This is a major center, and we spent time exploring.
Today, we are back on the major waters, headed to Menen, and then the French border.
