So, through happenchance, our vacations always end up including a UNESCO Heritage Site. Except this trip?
We had been talking about it and I said that, well, since we never plan to visit a UNESCO site, maybe this is the trip that breaks the streak. So, off to see
the city museum because I had read it had a really nice walk through of how Luxembourg came to be. As we turn the corner, we started to laugh....

"Super Europe" was a concept pre EU.
Really liked this statue... found out later it has quite the story behind it. It is a 12th century character called Renart (Reynard) the Fox -
