I'm back in Deutschland! Six hours of driving both ways, but Luxembourg was definitely worth it! It was so Beautiful! I didn't know until about an hour before we arrived that my familie owns a haus there! It was very nice. It was right in the middle of the old fortifications of Luxembourg, the center of the old town.
We left on Thursday, and when we arrived in Luxembourg it was very late and we went straight to bed. The next morning Harold, Tome, and I went and saw the city of Luxembourg. We walked around the entire perimeter of the old fortifications, which are up and down several hills. I think it was maybe 6 or 7 miles. Then we went and saw the Cazemats, underground fortifications for canons that are built into the sides of the hills and cliffs that Luxembourg is built on top of. They are man made and very medieval and scary. Tom and Harald kept trying to scare each other from around corners. It was hysterical. Later that night we went out to eat with a lot of Denise's family, as she is from Luxembourg. If you didn't know, people from Luxembourg are all brought up speaking three languages from birth. Luxembourgisch, French, and German. They speak all three flawlessly. However, they tend to switch between them from sentence to sentence, so conversation is really hard to follow. After dinner we went to a club to see Tom's cousin's band play. It was a lot of fun!
The next day was the main reason that we had gone on our trip, Denise's mother's 80th birthday. It was at what they tell me is a famous restaurant in Luxembourg. It was at the top of a hill that overlooked a beautiful countryside covered with vineyards. There were 40 something people there and we ate for about 5 hours. It was a great time!
Today we drove home and it took all day because of traffic on the autobahn. Oh! We topped out at 189 km/h. It was pretty fast. I think maybe 120 mph? Only in Deutschland...
