Wednesday and Luxembourg

Again there is a note about class but no specifics. Sorry for not being able to update about that (not that I actually expect anyone to be reading this).

The exceptional thing about this Wednesday was that we got to take a little trip to Luxembourg.  A beautiful, tiny country.  When we arrived, we went on this really random nature walk  (through intricate stairways and walkways) from the lowest point of Luxembourg to the highest.  It was a little annoying, at first, but we took silly pictures and made the best of it.  A lot of stairs were involved, though, which didn't help the situation.  When we reached the highest point, we were given free time.  There are a couple of things that really stand out in my memory when I remember our time in Luxembourg.  There was alleyways and streets that were quaint and cute.  My memory is hazy so I can't describe them here, but they were beautiful (I'll go through pictures later, maybe, to help me out).  We were given free time for an hour or so and I spent it with the Americans.  As we were walking through the downtown area, there was a flash mob of dancers walking around, dressed in solid colours.  They would walk for a few minutes then freeze all at once for what felt like ages.  I'd never experienced that so I thought it was really cool.  I think the funniest thing about the day was that we found a Pizza Hut to have dinner at.  It was especially exciting to be somewhere that was like a little piece of home, and food that seemed natural to us, rather than strange.

After dinner we stopped by a little souvenir shop so Christopher could grab a pack of cigarettes and I found a set of stamps for my dad. I don't really remember the ride home or what else we did but it was a pretty great day.
