Saturday in Luxembourg

September 15, 2007

Ryan, Laura, Ellie and I took a road trip to Luxembourg. It's a beautiful little country that takes great pride in preserving the pristine environment. "Small is beautiful" is the motto on their tourism website. I have to agree. Autumn had just begun and the countryside was dotted with vivid reds and golds amidst the dark green of the pines. It reminded me of my honeymoon in the North Shore in Minnesota last year. A nice connection considering that it was my anniversary weekend. Eric and I were disappointed to be celebrating separately, but we're keeping our thoughts on all of the great years we'll be celebrating together in the future.

Gregorian Chants at the Abby
In the evening, we made our way up to the Abby to hear the Monks sing Gregorian chants. What a neat experience. I couldn't take any pictures because I was afraid of making too much noise with the camera shutter or that the flash might accidentally go off. The last thing I wanted was to disturb the peaceful atmosphere.

Jen, the photos of Luxembourg are beautiful! I'd like to hear the Gregorian chants. Did you see any CD's for sale?
