Parc Hotel Mondorf Mondorf-les-Bains

This is an incredible place...but I don't have any pictures... when I got there my camera stopped working :( But I really think it was a blessing because I just saw everything and didn't worry about getting pictures of everything for later, I just saw and took it all in. It was a much needed get-away and it really blew me away, especially the Cathedral! Mass there was unbelievable...and I have a new-found love of French...and their pastries :)

... heard some Luxemburgish music and I liked it. Conrad worked on the computer to map our route for tomorrow while Karyn and I chatted. Spoogy sat in her lap for a bit and then made his way to mine. He is a very sweet dog! We all went to bed at 11 pm. I stayed up for an hour more to upload pictures while making a tent with my blanket. I hid under it because it was warmer that way! I drifted off to sleep at midnight.<br>

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.

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 ...

... Trier. It was breathtaking. We could see all the Roman ruins and all of the churches in the city. It was a really amazing sight for me. 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.

... de claxon loeien, de lichten blijven knipperen en het alarm blijft gillen. Man morrelt wat onder motorkap. Geen effect. Uiteindelijk duikt hij met een kniptangetje onder de motorkap. Wel effect! De alarmherrie is over! Klein probleem is wel dat de motor nu nog steeds niet starten wil, en toeteren doet ie nog wel. Nog maar een keer met de tang. En ja hoor, het is stil, en daarna start de motor! Hoe dat nou weer kan? Spoken??? Echt de hoogste tijd om hier weg te gaan. Dag Esch!

... watch several dogs playfully chase each other down the hill and a group of elderly Italian tourists slowly shuffle their way up. It's late afternoon and the sun gracefully genuflects behind the horizon, casting a soft blanket of gold upon us. The surrounding hills take their evening smoke as the proprietors warm up the fireplaces of their tucked away homes, sending a potpourri scent of harvest spice into the air. "You know, we ...

... all of the tourist spots were along the canyon. A small train could take travelers to go around them. I tried to take it but failed because I missed the previous one but I had no time to wait for the next one. The damn 2-hour! It took me quite a lot of time to go back to the bus because I wanted to find out a new way. Unfortunately, I found ...

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 ...
