Like many of my students, I was dragging a bit today because of the concert last night. Six hours of sleep is not enough! I’m sure some of my students somehow got by on less. In the early afternoon, I decided to go for a walk rather than drink more coffee. I thought that I would take about a thirty minute walk. Well, I missed a turn (or it didn’t exist) and it turned out to be a two hour walk.

About one third of Differdange is ringed by woods. Although I had not intended to walk through them, that’s what I ended up doing. In my defense, there are not many street signs once you leave town. The ones that are there are often not all that helpful, like this one:

Given a choice between a town (?) that I had never heard of and amateur dog races, I went with the dogs. I’m still not sure what Kannerbongert is.  Google maps can’t find it. If I’m understanding this site correctly, it’s the name of an orchard.

My walk started out on sidewalks, which is nice. But once the sidewalk ended, I found myself walking along a country road with no shoulder. It was not all that relaxing to be walking along while having cars zooming toward you. Finally, I reached a hiking trail and so could enjoy the walk.

Eventually the trail ended in Differdange. I still find it wonderful that I can walk 10 minutes in one direction and be on a train to Luxembourg City, and 10 minutes in another directions and be in the woods.
