Grocery stores are closed, shops are locked-up, and public transportation runs less frequently. For Americans, this can be very frustrating. In our 8-days-a-week work schedules, a day off seems lazy, crazy, if not completely inefficient. I completely, wholeheartedly agreed...
...until I decided to follow the old adage 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.'
And now? Sundays are one of my favorite days of the week. It helps that I'm starting to find my Luxembourgish family. And it definitely doesn't hurt that I've found an amazing English speaking church. I get to share in some amazing fellowship...
...after which I stroll through the city, exploring old art book stores (which are miraculously open?)....
...marveling at the snowy magnolia tree, blossoming next to my window...
...finishing the day with these gentlemen (the 'bachelors' of the Chateau) while over grilled chicken, we talk about Jeanne d'Arc, Belgian political nuances, countries bordering the Danube, and anything else you'd find yourself pondering in this small Luxembourgish town in wonderful company.

The gentleman in the middle looks like a European Mr. Knapp!
