... in variety of flavours which are dipped into hot milk until they melt.

Then we head off to try Luxembourg wine at Ross suggestion. If you have never tried it - definately give it a go. Amazing couple hours drinking fine white wine.

... distance train ride so that was an interesting experience. I couldn't even figure how to get out of my cabin, much less the train! Eventually I managed though, suitcase, pretzel salad and all. My pretzel salad got a bit soggy during transport but it was okay I suppose, not as good as my moms though. This holiday season is going to be a little bit difficult for me but I'm glad for the fact that I have family and friends nearby still! I love and miss you all!

... Moore lives in the Valais canton, as does Frida Lyngstad, the singer from Abba (she’s the dark haired one). Tina Turner lives on the Zurich gold coast. When I write my block-busting pastoral travel memoires, I will consider moving to Switzerland too to avoid paying taxes on all the royalties….

Back to reality. I arrived at the airport with plenty of time to spare. There were no French agents at the immigration desk so I just walked down a hall into the French sector ...

... I'm a fan of. Cute little villages like those that I've been to in Switzerland but lacking that little bit extra in presentation.

I only got to see a few towns in Luxembourg but there is certainly a lot more to explore. I highly recommend the wine district that runs along the border with Germany.

We headed to Vianden, Luxemburg on a morning train. The train ride went through the south of Belgium and across the Luxemburg countryside. It was a beautiful, breathtaking train ride. The south of Belgium is very hilly and has a green beauty about it. Luxemburg however was a different story. There had been a lot of precipitation that year and the river had flooded into the fields and countryside of ...

Dear Family and Friends, We seem to have the entire country of Luxembourg to ourselves as there are very few tourists and virtually no Americans. Maybe it's because of the cold and rain! But it's not stopping us. Set off for Germany today to see Burg Eltz - a wonderful castle over 1000 years old. It was supposed to be a 1 1/2 hour trip and we turned it into a 3 hour trip. But it wasn't our fault as the Germans don't understand the ...

... Mosel River and got to see the young vineyards planted along the sides of the hills. Parked and walked to the castle, rather than hiking the one mile path as we had planned, as it had rained and the path would be muddy and slick. The downhill trek to the castle was awesome, curvy and steep, and then the castle, which has never been destroyed and is several hundreds of years old, came into view - breathtaking! Needless to say, after ...

... for the festival was in medieval attire (as well as lots of the people walking around), and every room was made to look as it would have been during the medieval times. They had a jousting tournament in one area, a sword battle in the great hall, lots of merchants/vendors on the outskirts, as well as different artisans and musicians all playing about the castle. The castle itself is a UNESCO world heritage ...

... 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!)

... Casemates - tunnels and chambers dug to further fortify Luxembourg city. Saw Notre Dame church and walked along the park at the bottom of the valley where we found an old church built into the side of the hill. Luxembourg is a beautiful medieval valley.
