Luxembourg

The next adventure was a day trip to the enormous country of Luxembourg. It took about 3 hours to train through Liege and into Luxembourg City. Luxembourg has three official languages: French, German and Luxembourgish (no joke). The city looks like a fairytale land. The city is on a plateau, so forested ravines and streams surround it as well as old buildings emerging in different spots. The park was the perfect fall scene with a light breeze causing leaves to fall ever so slowly. The Grand Duke’s palace was complete with a guard out front, but is a bit hidden and unassuming. We climbed down into some caverns used as fortresses in previous wars. They were slightly creepy and we lost Annabelle for a few minutes-eek! I did find a French bookstore and bought a few books for fun. Overall Luxembourg is a really cool, relaxed, and inviting place. The people were very friendly and seemed to just enjoy the day.
