Hotel Koener Clervaux

Mr. Mrs. Vernaud and Daniel joined me for breakfast at 6:30 am. I had still suffered the effects of jet-lag during the night, so the strong Swiss coffee was very welcome! After our good-byes, Mr. Vernaud drove me to the Nyon train station and bought me a ticket to Geneva. I hopped on a train just before it pulled out and ended up standing in the entry area with my luggage since the train was full of morning commuters. Also in the entry were three American kids, one teen and two of primary ...

During our stay in Spa we had the most scary, horrible, unpleasant experience ever in a restaurant.

The restaurant to avoid is "Le Bouchon Gourmand", the owner does not hesitate to insult customers, lock them into the restaurant if there is a dispute on the bill, and claim more money than is due.

... We then made our way to our host's house. It was easily found. Upon ringing the doorbell, you instantly heard the 3 dogs barking. We came inside and were greeted by them all. Two dogs were hers and one belongs to the neighbor. They were Phoebe, Spoogy, and Nina. Our host was Karyn (I think I'm spelling it right).

We got our things settled in and then left with them to take the dogs on a long walk. There is ...

... with certain extreme situations. It is also a strong recognition for all those "who served" and a lasting tribute to those who gave their lives". Along that line, the museum staff has often acted as a venue and assisted in projects tn bringing together veterans from former opposed sides to meet as friends. In a second section, the museum also provides an educational view of the development of the "national" Luxembourg armed forces since the creation of the Grand Duchy.

... the Americans about 2kms outside of town and a tacky little museum in town. We did find an impressive cemetery on the way dedicated to the Americans that died at the Battle of the Buldge and the American aviators that had lost their lives. All the names were listed as well as their division and rank.

I apologise again for taking so long to release the pics and for not giving a good write up of Luxembourg. I seem to draw a blank when I want to put things down on paper or on computer as the case may be.

Briefly I'll say Luxembourg was cute! Similar achitecture & feel to German speaking countries ...

... were seated and the waiter began taking our order... and then bad stuff happened. When we began ordering, he asked us incredously, "Just dessert for you?" When we said yes, and that all of us were just ordering dessert, he began visually upset. After much complaining and negative body language, he took our order. In Europe, waiters go to college to be waiters, and they are really, really good at what they do. Consequently, they don't have to serve you if they don't want to, and they don't ...

We finally arrived to Wittlitch and my sister's car was in the parking lot waiting for us. We drove into Bitburg and had a nice German meal. After dinner we drove back to her house to meet the neighbors, watch some TV and then off to bed.

I woke up at 5:20am, packed my bag, and ate some breakfast. My sister drove me to my train stop and I waited for my train to arrive. It was mostly full of kids going to school.

... raha Belgia kasumiks andma.

Aga pood iseenesest oli natsa väiksem kui Chicagos, kuid mööblivalik nagu igalpool, samasugune. Leidsin palju asju, mis mul endalgi kunagi ostetud sai ja USAsse maha jäi. Paljud asjad on just kaugemalt vaadates hästi lahedad, aga lähedalt silmitsedes kas plekist või plastmassist :D No aga külalised ei peagi ju kõiki asju kodus käperdama, eks!

... papers of the time were "enlightening" to say the least. As war museums go, it was really good. I also wanted to see the museum with the models of the castles but for some reason we couldn't find the place. For a town so small how could this be the case. Anyway, we wanted to go to Vianden, and there was only one bus that went at a reasonable time to actually make an afternoon of it. So we went...
