Day 12 Luxembourg

Wednesday.

Happy fourth America!! I'm so sad I can't be in the states to celebrate but I'm thinking about this wonderful holiday! I'm so proud to be from the states (especially now after experiencing other cultures!) and I'm so proud and excited to be an army wife. Hope everyone has a happy fourth of July and eat lots of hotdogs and hamburgers :)

We started our 7:00 journey with "I'm proud to be an American!" and all the people that wanted to sleep probably want to kill us. The best part...
Jay said, "if only the windows were down!"
Deanna:"then all the machine guns will come out."
Jay:"no, they don't have the right to have guns!" haha

I fell asleep for most of the bus ride. Usually I have the hardest time sleeping I'm anything that's not a bed, but when I sprawl out on the floor of the bus I can! It also helps that I'm probably sleep deprived. I woke up when my fingers started falling asleep.

Caitlin had bought some potato chips and she shared with me and Erica. I turned to Erica and we both decided that we are salt deprived after all the carbs for the past week and a half. Haha

We arrived at the Novotel Hotel around 1:00 and we had to leave for out business visit at 1:15. So we quickly hurried up to our room, which has two queen size beds for just two of us- too bad its only 1 night, changed our clothes and headed to a little market.

I has my first croque monsieur! I don't think it was the best one I could have tried. At least not after Dave described them, but it was still yummy! I also had a chocolate croissant...my fav :)

The business visit was at the Degroof bank and it was super long. They did give us free drinks though! I put a coke bottle in my pocket cause jay was too scared to take another one haha. After we finished playing a few rounds of hang man we went BTTB, made a quick pit stop for pictures, then to the church building.

We had a cheese tasting that was put on by professor Godfrey's sister-in-law. I tried some Munster, Brie, goat, abundance, and Gouda. Don't ask me which ones I liked cause I don't remember which was which.

We headed back to the hotel and made a music video to "I'm proud to be an American" pretty darn funny! It was on a play ground with a see-saw of death! I seriously fell off 4 times. It was a time filler for the night. And we have a group music video to remember this day in Luxembourg! Ps. I love Luxembourg, it needs to get more credit!

Now I'm in my queen size bed watching old videos of Dave. I miss my boy on this American holiday. Just hope he's doing well and can't wait to talk to him in 9 days!!!! Off to Germany tomorrow :)
