6/30
I woke up a little early this morning so
that I could get to the train station with Tyler. We’re going to Luxembourg
City for the weekend. I don’t know what is going to be there but I’m interested
in seeing a new country. The train ride was about 3 hours long and we both
slept most of the way there. Once we got to Luxembourg we went to the bed and
breakfast that we were staying at. Luckily there was a bus that took us straight
there. We checked in and then left right away to explore the city. While we
were walking around we saw the Adolphe Bridge, Place de Metz and many other
interesting places. We also had the chance to take a bus tour throughout the
city that showed us some of the most popular areas. On the tour they mentioned
that there used to be many more historical buildings but they aren’t around
anymore and the areas have been turn into business districts which disappointed
me. I had thought that the city would have old buildings but a lot of it is
just concentrated in one area. Tyler and I spent the entire afternoon and part
of the evening walking around and seeing everything. I think that going to
Luxembourg City could have been a day trip but it was still nice to have a
place to sleep and not have to take a 3 hour train ride at night. Once we got
back to the place that we were staying we just watched tv for a while; the
majority of it was in French other than the BBC Network. I went to bed soon
after that.
