Having had enough of relaxing around the house, Finn wanted to go see a Finn-sized country. Accepting his suggestion, we made our way up to Luxembourg this weekend. They are geographically close to the Belgians, but very different in mentality.
Exhibit A. The Luxerious (that is what people from Luxembourg are called) claim to have the best waffles in the world. Compare that to the Belgians who said that they "probably" had the best waffles. Also the contrast in quality is amazing. Whereas the Belgian waffles were probably the best, the Luxembourgian's were definitely not the best.
Exhibit B. The Belgians also have probably the world's best beers. The Luxemburgois have a wide selection of low-quality pils to choose from. It is nearly impossible to find a Belgian white ale or unfiltered wheat in a country sandwiched between the home of each.
We saw all the sites that the city had to offer. Well, we did miss the American Cemetery where Gen Patton is buried. It closes at 5 and we didn't get out of the city until 8. We even saw the bagpipers competition. The city was replete with pipers, and I must report I never saw a piper down, though we were ready to call it out. (Ref: So I married an Axe Murderer.)
