Luxembourg City

Hello to all!

We are trying to get better about writing again more often.  On Monday afternoon, even though it was raining, Jay and I went into Luxembourg City to see what this city looked like other than the train station.  The city was beautiful and I guess a long time ago used to be a Fortress which is why there are so many castles and beautiful structures all over Luxembourg!  It was quite rainy and we could not find a good parking spot where we wanted to take a look around so we parked at the Utopolis, which is where the movie theatre is, and just took a walk around there.  There is a big shopping center, with a store similar to a Target/Walmart.  It also had stores such as ZARA and H & M and even a Haagen Daz!  After this we went to the place that has all you can eat chicken wings on Monday nights...I realized after Jay ordered them that I should have as well because as soon as I tasted one...I wanted them too!  Oh Well!

Jay forgot to mention in our last post that when I went to go and pick up his contacts, while he was resting before the game, the lady who did not speak English was the only one there at the time.  She did not understand that I was picking up the contacts for Jay and thought that they were mine....this made her want me to "test" them out and put them in....NOT a good idea.  I cannot touch my eyeball!  It was quite funny that I was trying to show her that I do not wear contacts and they were Jay's.  Finally the guy who did speak English came back and explained to her the situation...she then was apologizing so much I could hardly get out the door to get home!  

Today I went to visit with another American lady that lives up the road from me, it was great to get some advice from her on cooking and baking, things to do, classes to take, and even be able to hang out with her and babysit for her TWINS sometime!  She is originally from Oregon and we thought that was pretty fun considering that Jay went to college out there!  She said that she loves it here but really misses Mexican Food and Thai Food.  I will be attending a talk next week with her from a Luxembourgish man that fought in the Second World War and loves Americans, because he said we saved his life here.  I am sure Jay's dad would like to hear him speak, I guess that the speaker is very interested in America and learned English just to talk to people about how much he loves America!  He will be talking about his war stories and what he went through over here in Luxembourg.

Well we miss you all and we are trying to plan to head to Trier, Germany on Monday (Jay's day off) to see the city...apparently its not too far away! Then again nothing really is.  We will keep you posted and Jay has a game on Saturday against Etzella I believe and it should be a good game!
