The day started with the third of the four integration presentations. For me, this one was about IT. Unfortunately, last night’s outage had played havoc with everything electronic in the Château. Fortunately, Carlo is a very affable person and the group ended up talking about life in Luxembourg and the study tours’ destinations.

After lunch, we went to Luxembourg City where we toured in smaller groups of a dozen or so. It’s exhausting being a tourist, and many fell asleep on the bus ride home. I’ll admit to dozing off myself.

The evening ended with a “white party” or a party where everyone is supposed to wear all white. As you can see, I didn’t quite do that (in my defense, there were some people who wore no white at all). But, yes, I concede that my colleagues did a better job at this.

One interesting feature of the party is that it was more of a bring your own picnic, although you could purchase hotdogs, hamburgers, drinks, and a Luxembourgish “pizza” that looked like a crêpe with sauerkraut, bacon, and cheese on it. You can see how Luxembourg has both French and German influences. Some people went all out and brought china and flatware and even candelabras for their tables. By the time the party was winding down, we were all tired. I went straight to bed, which is why this posting is late.
