Ibis Styles
27 июля 2025 г., Люксембург ⋅ 🌧 64 °F
Well, it looks cool. But the room is SO small. My suitcase was too big to go around the bed. Thankfully, I'm only here one night, so I'll be fine.
Eating at Partigiano
27 июля 2025 г., Люксембург ⋅ 🌧 61 °F
It was late when i got to the hotel, so I wasnt picky for food. For my first meal, I had a very interesting take on a five cheese pizza. It had five cheeses, but it didn't have sauce and did have nutsЧитать далее
Pfaffenthal Panoramic Elevator
28 июля 2025 г., Люксембург ⋅ ⛅ 55 °F
The gray tower on the left is where I went. First..... I dont like it when the walkway moves on me. Second..... I don't like it when the floor is see-through (just the last little bit). I started atЧитать далее
Typical Street
28 июля 2025 г., Люксембург ⋅ ⛅ 57 °F
This is pretty typical of what the houses look like. There are some other colors, but mostly pale pastels.
The Journey
28 июля 2025 г., Люксембург ⋅ ⛅ 57 °F
Since I went down the Pfaffenthal Panoramic Elevator, everywhere I went was uphill. Hindsight, I should have gone back up and just run across the bridge. On my directions, i couldn't tell I was goingЧитать далее
New Bridge
28 июля 2025 г., Люксембург ⋅ ⛅ 57 °F
This is the New Bridge (meaning it's the newest one). It was opened in 1903 (yes, 1903). It's also called the Adolphe Bridge in honor of Grand Duke Adolphe. Hopefully, I can get a better angle on theЧитать далее
Upper City
28 июля 2025 г., Люксембург ⋅ ⛅ 57 °F

Luxembourg American Cemetery & Memorial
28 июля 2025 г., Люксембург ⋅ ⛅ 59 °F
I didn't think I would have time to come here, but I took an Über which saved me about an hour (30 min each way). I'm glad I did!
Memorial and Grounds
28 июля 2025 г., Люксембург ⋅ ⛅ 59 °F
This was a beautiful memorial to the soldiers.
ПутешественникThey were cleaning and refilling. It looks like they drained all of them, then were working on each on, one at a time.
General Patton
28 июля 2025 г., Люксембург ⋅ ⛅ 59 °F
Had General Patton not been buried here, I probably wouldn't have come across this cemetery/memorial. He wanted to be buried with his troups. He is the only 4-star general to be buried outside of theЧитать далее
Dad and I used to watch the movie Patton together every year! Thank goodness he made it home - he and his shrapnel in his head. I wonder if Patton's family really wanted him buried there? [Sharon]

Outside Palace
28 июля 2025 г., Люксембург ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F
It's hard to tell, but that is a light post, and it has a face in the opening. It gets even creapier. The face is made so that it is an optical illusion, and its eyes seem to follow you.
Motto of Luxembourg
28 июля 2025 г., Люксембург ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F
This shows the national motto of Luxembourg: We want to stay what we are

Wenzel
28 июля 2025 г., Люксембург ⋅ ⛅ 64 °F
This name looked like Wendel, and since Luxembourg borders Germany on its eastern side, I thought this may have been an alternate spelling from a long time ago.
I found out that the path was in honorЧитать далее
You learn so much information - I feel like I'm there with you! [Sharon]
