Luxembourg City

Well in case you couldn't guess, it was raining for our stay in Luxembourg. We booked a last-minute trip just for the weekend so we knew what we were getting into before we went. We started out the day on Saturday with a trip to the Mudam, which is the museum of modern art in Luxembourg City. There were some neat exhibits there, and also some weird exhibits as you would expect from modern art. Below is a picture of a fountain that contained black water, followed by a picture of Martin looking around in the chapel of obscene images ("obscene" meaning intestines and skeletons).



Frankie and Larry waiting patiently for Martin to remove himself from the gift shop:



Martin and I decided to brave the rain and walk along the city walls during the afternoon. It's a great walk that gives you some great views of the city and its walls.



Look how narrow some of the houses in the foreground are:



We stopped at a bar to dry off and to try the local brew, Bofferding. Not bad.



Then, the best thing ever, we found a soup restaurant for a late lunch! Martin had some lobster soup and I had a green lentil soup that was amazing. Cheap too!



On Sunday morning I got up and went for a run at 8am and the streets were still empty (and dark too! Sunrise in Luxembourg near the winter solstice is after 8:30am). People in Luxembourg sleep really late - the museum we went to didn't open until 11. Anyway, below are some pictures of the empty streets in the pedestrian shopping area.
