Luxembourg-Day 1

Luxembourg Day 1

Saturday the weather finally turned nice and we spent half the day trying to figure out what to do and getting packed up to go. We decided on Luxembourg because it's only an hour and a half away and looked fun. When we got there we checked into the hotel and right away hit the streets to check out the city. Luxembourg city is the capital of the country so all the official buildings are there, we saw lots of those. There is a huge wall built and a huge fortress built inside part of it. The first fortifications were built as early as the 10th century! Interesting info on the Bock Casemates (underground fortress) that is worth reading can be found here. We got to the Casemates too late to go in the underground tunnels so we had to go on Sunday. We did walk over to the area though and the views from the bridge are fabulous. It is a very beautiful city with all the gardens, architecture and sights. After we walked all around the city it was time to eat dinner. I got to choose and of all places we ended up at Chi Chi's Cantina! LOL I chose it mainly because I know how slow European service can be and Colin was fading FAST. ChiChi's brings out chips and salsa right away and I knew that would buy us valuable time with Colin and help avoid the stink eye from people trying to enjoy their meals. It worked, we made it through dinner fairly free of evil glares and I had a damn good burrito :)
After dinner we strolled around some more and headed back to the hotel. Colin refused to nap in the car on the ride to the city so he was dead by the time we got him to bed after 9 that night.

**Colin singing in the car on the way to Luxembourg - please excuse my head in the way, he refused to sing with me looking at him so I had to hold the camera up in the air and pretend I wasn't taking pictures for him to keep singing.


**Here is an example of what happens anytime we get in the car...Shoes come off and are thrown around the car, socks come off and most often make it onto his hands before being thrown around the car as well.
