Morning in Luxembourg

Very cold and windy morning. Voila...no hot water in the shower and no answer at the front desk. Hot water in the sink though. They were not overly apologetic when I told them. They are stingy with water.
Had a quick breakfast and headed out for the #16 bus to get to the airport. Of course, it started sleeting and I got wet. I brought a hat and although it doesn't look too good, I was glad to have it. ( It is a long hair hat.
Got to the airport easy as pie...got the rental car and was thrust into a quick study situation...The gears are totally different than my car...It's a nice Audi.I was worried that I was not going to be ok driving it. I seemed low in the seat...anyway, I got out to the highway and started on the road to Bastogne.
No traffic, just travelled along nicely. As I got closer to Bastogne, the land ( Belguim now) was pastoral...beautiful. The sun was going through the gloom to light up just spots in fields. There are so many pine forests here. They are so beautiful
I decided it was time to get lost and I just took a random right toward nowheresville.

What they would have us believe is the typical couple from Luxembourg
