We’re still alive. Doing quite well in fact.

We are at a different hotel now, in Redich on the Lux-German border. Across the Moselle River is Germany.

Staying in a very nice hotel in a sleepy, little Hot Springs style resort town (only smaller). Ended up here after our reservations in Luxembourg City fell through. But, Amy wanted to tour the Moselle, and we were able to see Lux City this afternoon, so it worked out pretty well.

Have already been to: Antwerp, Brugge, Brussels, Oostende (a resort town on the North Sea), Liege, Huy, Namur (the capital of Wallonia, or French-speaking Belgium), Durbuy, a tiny hamlet in the Ardennes, Bastogne, Arlon, Luxembourg City, and now Richen.

Tomorrow we tour the Moselle valley, and may go castle hunting. We also plan to stop at the WWII museum in Diekirch before heading to Clerveaux.

Then on Friday, we take the car back to Liege and head to Maastricht, Holland.

Fun note — the official mascot of Bruseels is a statue called the Mannekin Pis, which is a three year old boy taking a whiz. Tourists come from around the world to see it.

Here in Redich, they have a rotating statue of Bacchus on the main walkwaz along the river. Very strange.
