Hiyaàs...sorrz about the kezboard..itàs a Euro one so mz tzping is all over the place+++++

We left Brussels on the 10.46 train, Tuesdaz AM, and it took 3 hours to get to Luxembourg. The train station there was as wonderful as the Antwerpen one...There was wooden artwork, sculptures, that were being displayed which was fascinating...The roof was something to look at as well...it looked like a huge map of the world..and a leadlight window that had a huge sun which the sun streamed through..very beautiful.

Luxembourg is so small..the countrz is verz prosperous..and zet small. Itàs the third smallest European countrz in Europe. Not sure what the other small ones are..mazbe Andorra?

(This kezboards is driving me nuts...canàt find the exclamation mark OR the apostrophe...and the letters are all over the plalcegrr)

Anzwaz Luxembourg has 450,000 people...no rivers because itàs surrounded by other countries...France, Belgium and Germanz..felt strange that there was no water surrounding the countrz. I donàt think i could live in a countrz like that..seemed verz strange..

And itàs verz eclectic too...lots of italians that settled in the first world war..and lots of portugese that settled in the 70,s for the steel and iron industrz...

Everzone here spoke French it seemed++ there were so manz dialects thatàs for sure.

Iron and Steel was once the biggest industrz...Finance is now itàs biggest industrz..thez have over 200 banks+

Went on a Hop on Hop Off bus...admired the view from the bridge Chemin de la Corniche (Europeàs most beautiful balconz) where we could see huge trees that had the tops equal with where we were standing.

Had a bofferding beer at a little pub that had true atmosphere and music...and mexican (and a tequilla sunrise) for dinner in an outside restaurant..and went back to our quaint little hotel, that had breakfast included, the Walsheim...

Luxembourg was a great countrz to spend the night+

Auvoir+hehe
