An American Thanksgiving in Luxembourg

Andrew is in Copenhagen for a few days this week, giving me some alone-time to finally post about our best trip yet: an American Thanksgiving in Luxembourg with family (Andrew's cousin Sara lives there with her husband, Paul, and daughter, Julia; and his Aunt Janet and Uncle Dick were visiting from Buffalo, NY)! We arrived in Luxembourg on the night before Thanksgiving, and I can't begin to explain how nice it was to get there and have family waiting for us. Thanksgiving day was spent cooking and eating (and eating and more eating) some very delicious food! Hats off in particular to Uncle Dick's stuffing:

On Friday, we went into Luxembourg City where we visited their Christmas market and tried some traditional Glühwein (warm, mulled wine). We also went to an art museum and found some dinner at an American restaurant (who knew that Chi Chi's had locations abroad?!). We hit another Christmas market on Saturday, this time heading across the border to Trier, Germany.

On Sunday we got a tour of Paul's office and lab, and spent a little more time in Luxembourg City before flying back to Aalborg that night. It was a bit hard to leave, as we had such a wonderful time with everyone. We really hope to get back to Luxembourg at some point before we leave Denmark. More photos of our trip are on our flickr page.

Our next big trip is in just a few weeks: the Canary Islands for Christmas! We can't wait to get some sun and warm weather!
