Sofitel Lux Le Grand Ducal Luxembourg City

... hike and we took the dogs with us. It was very nice. It was a small cascade and it was very quiet and peaceful there. She said in the summertime it is very crowded. I imagine it would be like the waterfalls in North Carolina in the summer.<br><br>We got back home and I started working on uploading pictures. I had 5 days to catch up on. We chatted with Karyn while she prepared a dinner of pasta with broccoli ...

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 ...

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

... 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!)
