As they say here, Schéi Chrëschtdeeg!

Last night I emailed the CFL about buying a copy of their Guide randonnée. This morning, I received a reply at 8:30am. It turned out that the only place to buy the guide was the main train station in Luxembourg City. I had hoped that I could buy it at a station closer to me. My timing was good, however. If I didn’t come down to buy it today, I couldn’t get it until 5 January. Since I wanted to hike over the holidays, I went down to get it.

It’s a nice book, full of “station to station” hikes. The book is a small two-ring binder so that you can remove the pages individually and put them in the included plastic sleeve.

The Wort had a very cool collection of photos today, showing places in Luxembourg as they looked immediately after the war and today. The photographs have sliders you can adjust how much of the past or the present you see.

It’s hard for me to believe that the semester is almost over, but today was the Final Awards Banquet. As you might imagine, it’s not that easy to find a place that can accommodate about 150 people. We ended up going into Luxembourg City, which is always fun. Including travel, however, the banquet took up most of the afternoon (we still had classes in the morning).

Today the Wort had a story about a Ditty dedicated to Duchy’s Gromperekichelcher. Mike McQuaide, the singer/song writer, has some other fun songs about his experience as an American in Luxembourg.

It’s Only Gromperekichelcher (But I Like it)
