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

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.

... Roman ruins and the churches up close. Trier was very nice and I love the feeling there, the Roman baths were also really cool to see. We also had a great dinner in the main square of town. I had Pepper Steak and spetzlah. It was so good. The seats outside were great and I was able to people watch and really just embrace in the culture. Plus a little wine probe, wine tasting, helped a lot.

On Thursday I got up and walked the city of Speicher and looked at the whole town, it really isn't that big at all. It is a small city and most people either work on the Air Force Base or they drive to Bitburg or Trier to work. Anyways it was nice to see the small city and where my parents lived for a few years. After I was finished walking Richard and I went onto the base to look around ...

At last I finally arrive in Trier and meet up with Maureen and Richard. They are old friends of my parents and have agreed to put me up for the next few nights. They recognized me at once saying I look like my parents, of course I smiled and said you don't have to be mean. HAHA. Well after we got in the car we went to the top hill of Trier were we could see all ...

... I'll just be sure to remember to ask for a 'carte' rather than a 'menu' next time I go anywhere. This weekend was an 'open weekend' for a number of the museums and galleries in Luxembourg so that entry was free. We decided to make the most of this and visited the 'Casino' Contemporary art gallery and the Museum of Luxembourg, which were both in the town centre. The Casino had some great pieces including the butterflies in the photo - all made ...

... going on, he just pushes on and trys to teach us in german anyway. He speaks very good english and all we want him to do is explain in english so that we know what to do. Our textbook has no english so that is no help and alot of times he doesn't even tell us where he is in the book. He just starts talking very fast. My problem is that I can translate fast enough. I can understand the first thing he says and by the time I have that translated into ...

... program. We lounged around for a little while and then went out in search of food. We settled for the old standby of kabob (Europe is absolutely infested with kabob stands which are delicious...but probably horrible for you) because it was the cheapest thing around...and then met up with Jerry and some of the people from the group to go on a tour of Luxembourg. It is a really small city, but is also really beautiful. The entire place is surrounded by these massive ...

Our family travelled to Luxembourg for a week for a work conference. Was it just me or was there a bank on every corner? I think the trip was quite expensive for my parents. <br>Assuming it was because there are so many languages spoken in ...
