We spent the weekend in Luxembourgh, a place we'd never visited before. Quite a remarkable city, with ancient cliffs and sturdy fortress and city walls dating back to the Middle Ages. Portions of the city are perched on top of the cliffs, but there's a "valley" below that's a verdant, wooded park. Recessed from the clamor of the city, it's a whole other world. The stucco houses reminded me of Italy.

The Place des Armes is known as the city's salon. Ringed by cafes, with a bandstand in its center, it pulsed with activity and people. I wish the shops in the adjacent streets had been open on Sunday because I missed my chance to shop on Saturday.

E took this spectacular photo Saturday night. For those of you in the States, it's 10 p.m. and not dark yet!
