President Luxembourg City

... 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 ...

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 ...

... 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.

... train station with an arrival time in Salzburg, Austria of 16:35. A long train ride but part of the aura of travel.

Christiane overheard me saying something about how much I love Celery Salad. This is a German dish prepared from the large round root ball of the celery plant. What a surprise when I returned her great little fold up bike after a glorious day of biking than to discover she ...

... Hut and another small restaurant. I'm fairly certain that the staff at Pizza Hut had never seen any groups like us before.

Because we didn't have a city tour planned for us, we decided to explore the city on our own. Our hotel was about a 10 minute walk to one of the main squares of the city, where there was food, live music, and shopping every day. We didn't realize that all stores close at 6 pm every day, so we ...

... So, at about 11am this morning, I was panicking because the roads I thought were going to take me to Echternach kept taking me back into the city centre, the last place I wanted to be driving. I got on and off the highway, got turned around again and again, and even turned onto the wrong side of the median and ended up driving the wrong way on a divided street at one point. All of this in the pouring rain, without being able to figure out how to defrost my windsheild, and only ...

Hello all! Sorry it has taken me so long to get this thing updated, but I just got internet access on my laptop on Friday. Anyway, I've been in Luxembourg for almost a week now. So far, it has been quite an experience. The first few days here consisted of a number of orientation activities. Included in these activities were several trips to locations ...

... to see how these "laws" and "theories" that others talk about really work. I have accomplished that. Those of you who do not believe in any of this are still doubting because I haven't proven anything yet. Some of you believe that Jesus Christ walked on this earth and is the Son of God. You have no proof but faith and the words of others. You may believe in some other deity or maybe just in the Universe or Science. Very few people on this earth do not believe in some ...

... It was a pretty good deal. I also got some chunky monkey ice cream (because I love it so much). We then went to the main square to get Alina some ice cream. We saw a sign for a band playing in the square where they showed the soccer match the other night. It was called the Brass Machine and was called Europe's best cover band, playing songs from Queen, Tina Turner, Gloria Estefan, and Jamiroqui. We all ...
