Alvisse Parc Luxembourg City

... oil and garlic. It was actually very good, and I'm not a big broccoli fan. We spent the rest of the evening chatting in the kitchen because it was the warmest room in the house. There is a wood burning stove in the kitchen and that is what is used mainly to heat the house. It got very cold here. Karyn said that it was -3 C the prior evening! <br><br>We chatted around the stove and listened to a variety of music ...

Of course I needed to visit Luxembourg, hiding away there between France, Germany and Belgium. It is the fifith smallest country in the world. It is very hilly and surrounded by trees. The hostel is down at the bottom of a cliff, yay! The city of course is quite small, but it is surrounded by ruins and forest which makes it quite a unique city in amongst the hustle and crowds of all the other major cities. The people there speak French and their own language, Luxembourgish I suppose.

... my parents worked for those years. It was pretty awesome to see where my dad was a firefighter so many years ago. Also it was weird because the base brought me back to my youth were I spent lots and lots of time on the base in Great Falls. It was really cool to have that feeling again. After we were done with Spangdhalem we meet up with Mo and went to Trier to walk around and look at ...

So after a few minutes of gazing at the city we got back in the car and went to Speicher, where I lived for the first year of my life. After getting to their house in Speicher we had a few drinks and just chatted about the past.

... trip was worth it. It was basically one big hike around the city, and by the end of Saturday, my legs were killing me. Apparently walking up my three flights of stairs everyday is not as much exercise as I thought. There weren't too many historical sights to see, but the city is beautiful. It was build on a rock in 963, and is surrounded by valleys. The "old city" is a large fort, and many of the fortifications and other ruins dot the landscape.

... hosts a large number of EU institutions (which we saw from the bus) and the people seemed most willing to surrender their national identity for a continental one. The appropriateness of this identity is further confirmed with the country's tumultuous history of occupations (the Romans, the Spanish, the French, the Germans, the French again, the Belgians, the Germans again), integration and independence. Arriving in ...

... mitte. Luxi eeskirjade järgi rikuvad seda isegi satipannid.<br><br>Levinud on ka majade katmine plaatidega, azulejos, ehk siis sisuliselt mõni maja näeb välja nagu vannitoa sein. Alguses tundus see kummaline, aga pärast harjus ära. Tuli välja, et selle stiili (ja palju muid detaile) olid endaga kaasa toonud moorlased.<br><br>Tänavad olid valdavalt väga kitsad ja kohati tundus lausa uskumatu, kuidas auto sellistest kohtadest läbi peaks mahtuma. Aga mahtus. D&#382;iibiga ei tasu sinna k ...

... small country, all the cartoons on TV and in the newspaper seemed to not have words, just gestures and sound. The weather was kind of grey, the food was good. We discovered Croque Monsieurs (like grilled cheese sandwiches with ham -delish!)
