Day 5 - Luxembourg

View from Hotel in Trier


Today's itinerary was a bus trip to Luxembourg' specifically Ettlebruck, Niederfeulen, Oberfeulen, Mertzig, and Luxembourg City.  The whole purpose of the day was to visit with Klein relatives.  The day was planned by Annie Besenius, a distant relative to the Kunkel's on the trip.

In Neiderfeulen, we saw the farm land, original house, and the church.




In Oberfeulen, we saw the cemetary where many of thier relatives were buried and the church. I loved the draft horses that you could see dotting the hoizon. It reminded me of the stories Grampa used to tell me about his Percherons.



We met Annie's brother. He has an iron works shop. The do wrought iron stairs and spiral staircases among many things. They had several cool bbq/fire pit type pieces. The picture below is one of the employees working on a baluster for a staircase.


After a lunch, we made the trip to Luxembourg city. On the agenda was Notre Dame and the Lady of Consolation (Our Lady of Luxembourg), and a walking tour of the old part of the city.

Four of us broke from the group to relax and people watch on the Platz. A few beers were drank. I seem to recall a crepe being ordered and eaten....nutella and banana! The best. Our waiter was preparing us for ou recpetion in France. He was pretty much an ass.
