Saturday, May 17 (continued)

As we continue to journey down the Mosel (we'll return to the Rhine shortly), this continues our Saturday blog with other Luxembourg activities with you.  A walking tour of the city found us in the center of town where market activity was in high gear.  Lots of little shops selling everything from books to china pieces, antique furniture,as well as linens and lace.

The weather for the day was wonderful -- sunny with high temps. in the mid-60's.  So there were lots of folks wandering thru the shops as well as lounging in the many outdoor eating places.

One of the highlights of the afternoon was witnessing a rather unique "bachelor party".  Young men with "crowns" on the heads were celebrating a young man's soon-to-be wedding in two weeks. The celebrant was wearing some rather unusual attire and playing his clarinet for his friends as well as the crowd.  During the course of his "performance", he played our National Anthem which caused many of us to join his celebration with song.   

Lots of wine drinking in Europe as the picture of wine bottles implies.

Sunday will bring more activities which we'll share with you later.

Peace and grace from Luxembourg.
