It’s difficult to imagine that I’ve been here for a week. In many good ways it seems longer than that; in other ways, it’s as if I just arrived.

After the last part of the integration lectures in the morning, we had 10 hours of traveling.

First we went to Muellerthal for a quick 1km hike to the Schiessentümpel water falls.  Then on to see the castle in  Beaufort.  This photo doesn’t do it justice, but it’s the only one I took:

This part of Luxembourg is nicknamed Echternach or Little Switzerland. Then off to the St. Martin winery where they store the wine in man-made caves, where learned about Luxembourg, especially their sparkling white wine known as Crémant de Luxembourg. The night ended with dinner at the  Schueberfouer or Fun Fest in Luxembourg City. The carnival was packed with people. Not one for crowds (or rides that hold you upside-down), I went back to the Château exhausted.
