Fall in Luxembourg

Well I guess it is a little late to start posting about the fall in Luxembourg, seeing as we are well into winter...but since I have not posted much of anything recently, something is better than nothing. Right? Right?

Anyway, there is nothing too special to say here, or else I probably would have posted this sooner. But before the weather turned cold, Secil and I took one of our rare trips to somewhere in Luxembourg that is not Luxembourg city nor just a road to someplace else.

I present you Echternach:




It is a cool little town, about a 30 minute drive away. Like everyplace in Lux it was clean and well taken care of. But mainly it was just very peaceful, picturesque, and a reminder of how amazing some of these little towns are.

We showed up during some sort of small festival that involved drinking beer and eating sausage, which luckily for me I happen to love and which for some reason happen all the time in Lux. And while you can't quite tell from these pictures, we did see a 'Tex-Mex' restaurant that I am definitely heading back there to try. Seriously, I am still looking for some good Mexican food here, and unfortunately the available options are limited both in number and quality.

But the other reason to make this post is that I wanted to show the new member of my family, my German baby Angelika:

Okay, she does not actually have a name yet (as nothing has felt quite right). But after finally letting go of Roxy this summer back in Seattle, and having my heart broken by my French Opel station wagon, my 2 Ford Focus's, and my 1 series BMW lease cars all taken back from me in my 2 years here in Lux, it is nice to finally have my own car again.

See I told you there wasn't much to this post. Ahhhh, but there will be more soon.

Cheers!
