Luxembourg





I LOVE LUXEMBOURG! This tiny country is absolutely beautiful! Not a speck of trash or anything distasteful anywhere in sight. The roads are excellent, the people are friendly and the pastoral scenery is breath-taking.








Belgium



We arrived in Arlon Belgium the day after the international gay and lessbian affair week. It was was sorta strange to see a heavy set man walking to breakfast in heels and a dress. Not too many folks out and about at 8am, so we were able to get a good cafe and we had the best cappuccinos in Belgium! They can sure make a good cup of coffee there!

The buildings were lovely and the sculpures were very interesting. I took a pic of a big owl guarding the entrance to a pharmacy...I thought Ginny would like it since she loves Owls.











Portugal


Portugal was lovely with nice beaches. Ray thought I would be able to talk to the locals, but Portugese sounds like russian to me. Some of the words have similar spelling to Spainish, but it sounds very different. They really like the splashy colors and modern architeture. It's a litlle too funch for me.
