My favorite baked goods in Differdange. I suspect that I’m about to lose any credibility I may have with anyone who has been to Paris, but these are the pastries I like in Differdange (in no particular order):
Lidl once had the croissants on sale, 2 + 1 gratuit. That was a bad week for my self-control.
Today was the last day of classes for the “sprint courses” (i.e., courses running at double speed). To celebrate, and to begin grading avoidance at the earliest possible moment, we went to Ristorante Favaro in Esch for dinner. It was Resto-days in Luxembourg, so we had a wonderful seven course dinner.
Had a wonderful lunch with the Dean at Le Presbytere, which is on the Luxembourg-French border. Before and after lunch was spent working with students on their term papers, which are due Friday.
After class, I went with my colleagues and all of the students to another great concert by the Solistes Européens Luxembourg. We will all be dragging tomorrow because classes being at 8:30, but it’s a great way to end a Monday.
I spent an enjoyable day in Luxembourg city, first at the Bric-a-Brac Fair and then at the 32e festival des migrations des cultures et de la citoyenneté. It was amazing how many cultures were represented at the festival. The Luxembourg Expo Center is huge. There were easily three dozen different cultural groups there, each with a booth selling food, books, and other items.
