2 extra countries in a day





Today we took a leisurely drive through Luxembourg and France on our way down to BadenBaden. Both countries were nice and had a simular apperance to the Black forest we are in now. When we were driving throgh Luxembourg we found a WW2 Memorial for US soldiers, over 5000 were burried there including General Patton JR. It was quite sobering. One nice find in Luxembourg is the lack of taxes so we filled the car up saving enough to pad the beer fund. Once we settled into BadenBaden we spent the afternoon in the newly updated Roman Bathes. The water was nice and hot (and all the people had thier suits on). When we were in the parking garage Mom found out the outside door handles on the new car are lighted, way cool.

Just 3 days till the family shows up and we can't wait!!!!

  2. I didn't know France was on the agenda. I am sure you were very disappointed Brian about all the suits. Couple of days left for us. Love you guys!

  3. Guten Tag! Wie geht's? Just discovering your wonderful blog and all the vicarious thrills. We're really enjoying Brian's witty account and look forward to more. Sounds like the Autobahn has not changed since we were there 30 years ago--vrooom! Tim Lister preached this morning in church & did a fine job.
    Bruce, have a good trip tomorrow. Safe travels for all. Your Topeka fans
