Sheraton Aerogolf Luxembourg City

... area about 5 minutes outside of town that she takes the dogs to. It is a huge farm and there is a road that winds all the way around it. It took about an hour to walk the length of the road. The dogs love it. It was a bit chilly, especially when the wind was blowing. Conrad had to stop and feed some cows. It was fun to play with the dogs.<br><br>When we got back to the car, we went to see a waterfall. It was a ...

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.

... but he had his quirks. He was Dutch, and was eager to show his pride in his home and native land at every opportunity. He was also eager to show off his ability with languages, comparing the German, Dutch, Latin, French and English terms for whatever came up. It was a little humiliating for us monoglots.<br> <br>The castle now stood exactly as it has been in about 1400. This included the original paintings on the walls and ...

Every day bring a surprise...today the weather is cold and gloomy, so we decided to go to Luxembourg for the day and see if it is possible to have fun up there. I forgot it was the 8 of May (VE day Europe) and it also public holiday. Anyway we went there and found that it was pact to the rafter as it was also the annual fair. Kids ...

... nature, the crosses were very dark and the grounds, although well maintained, were very stark compared to the American cemetery. It was very easy to tell who had won the war. We looked at a few crosses and most of the dead were 17-19 year old boys. Once again a sobering reminder of different times in Europe. Speedy arrived home from work, we then went out for dinner at a local restaurant that served great Luxembourg style food and we ...

... having to deal with the nightmare of getting home Sunday because everyone we met went out of their way to try to help us.  People are so nice!   I was so happy to get back to the castle once again, and I was exhausted!!! I also got to talk to my mom and brother for the first time in 2 1/2 weeks, so that was nice!  Anyways, I need to get some serious rest this week, because I have a cold and need to get better for Belgium with Vanessa's family this weekend!

... half. The square was already super packed. We watched it for awhile, and right before halftime, we decided to get a beer. I decided to order all the beers because there was just a mob surrounding the beer stand. No line, just a blob. I worked my way forward better than the guys, but when I got to the bar, it was ridiculous. The bar was covered in beer, and I was being pushed into the bar by the people behind me because they were ...

... 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!)
