Tuesday we went to Thionville, France, and today we went to Saarlouis, Germany!
Both trips we all day trips aka 9:30am to 2:30pm... haha I absolutely loved Thionville. It was a smaller town/city. People that heard us speaking English were confused as to why we were there because it's really not a touristy area. It was mostly a shopping district. I found a really pretty dress. There was a condom machine right in the center of town. I had a delicious crepe! We stopped by to see a castle on the way back to Mondorf. Later we went to the gym and spa, which was wonderful as usual. Then we got ready and went to the bar. Pretty much everyone from our trip was at the bar. The bartenders there love us, we see them sometimes in town and they usually say hi.
Today we went to Saarlouis. It is a German Religious holiday today, so almost the entire town was shut down. It was set up like a festival, and there were tons of street vendors, but they weren't starting until 5:30... One of them was a mexican food place with all different wonderful sounding beverages, I wanted a burrito SO bad! Oh well, what can you do? It was a super cool place, even though not many shops were open. We did see a religious procession, and for some reason there are these gates throughout the city and these ones were locked, so they couldn't start their parade! Those ladies were extremely upset! We just walked around for a while, found pictures for our papers, and had some fun! We went to lunch and then found a delicious gelatto place, yum yum yum!
When we got back to the Klouschter I went to the spa to sit by the pool. I'm starting to get a little sick, so I decided not to work out today :( I read poolside, my book is getting really good! Then I headed back because the Tour de Luxembourg for cycling was today and Lance Armstrong was supposed to be riding right past our very own Klouschter! It turns out that the route got changed so we had to walk to France, (ok that sounds super far but its about a 15 minute walk). We finally saw him (and all of the other bikers) IT WAS SPECTACULAR!!!!! haha I saw Lance Armstrong!!!!
Then I went back to the pool. Went to dinner, and had my meeting with Jaan. He said he thinks my paper will be about 25 pages single spaced, fml. I guess that does include pictures too though? AH Oh well at least it will be fun to right and I have all summer to do it?
Tomorrow we leave for Brussels Belgium! I cannot wait for this trip!
