Today's Post

Wednesday Morning - On Monday evening we went to Lony and Jemp's for a lovely supper with a friend of theirs - Claude - whom Holly met last summer. We had (I think that's how you put it) a raclette. Absolutely delicious. This is not the best pic of me but this is the table with the device you heat your cheese with bits of things on the top.

 

They have been just the best friends on this trip. We spent yesterday touring Luxembourg, Echternach and along the Sure River down to the Moselle and back to Jemp and Lony's for a drink and off to a really nice Italian restaurant where we had pizza (delish) and spaghetti (also delish they said).

Here are a few pix I have now downloaded/uploaded:

This shows just part of the walls built on top of the cliffs surrounding the old part of the city of Luxembourg. It really was a major engineering feat many hundreds of years ago.

This is the house we lived in in Echternach from 1954 to 1956. Both Weese and I remember this well.



Today's agenda includes: Weese is presently shopping - she had to get out of the room; I am going across to the Christmas Market one last time; a walk up to the Cathedral and possibly the museum; and then we will be meeting with Germaine, Josee's sister, around supper time. Germaine went to school with Weese and I am very glad to meeting up with her again. We stayed at her house for a couple of days last summer.

And then, it's up really early to catch our flight to Frankfurt, Montreal - Weese then to Ottawa - and Halifax. It will be another long day but I think we will both be glad to get back to our routines and our own beds.

A bientot!
