Luxembourg City, Luxembourg
We had a wonderful walk with our friends Marlies and Helmut Werner thru the quaint and beautiful streets of Luxembourg. After awhile it was time for a rest, so I put my feet up and RELAXED in front of these beautiful cascading waterfalls.

Luxembourg City, Luxembourg
On our walk around Luxembourg, we went to the Natural History Museum, there we sat and relaxed for a little bit. While there I noticed some Venus Flytraps and was looking at them when Marlies came over and explained how they work. It is quite amazing!! When an insect or spider crawls onto a leaf and touches one of the tiny hairs, the trap closes and they are then inside and the plant consumes them. I found on Wikipedia; that only after a second hair is contacted within twenty seconds of the first hair being touched, is the trap triggered, this saves energy on objects that have no nutritional value. Nature is wonderful!!

We had an awesome and beautiful walk thru Luxembourg City. Most of the time we walked along the Alzette, a tributary of the River Moselle. Luxembourg is very picturesque with it’s deep valley, lush greenery and gorgeous gardens! In this photo I am looking the other direction, thru the arched bridge that has the train tracks on it.

We drove through the countryside of Belgium and there we saw many cows. As Craig said, ‘the beginning of Belgium Chocolates’! My dad was raised on a dairy farm and he told me that cows are very curious, I noticed this with these two, while the others chewed grass and/or chewed the cud, they just watched me!

Throughout Switzerland and France, we passed these beautiful fields of yellow! We’ve been trying to figure out what the plants are and with the help of the Internet we have come to the conclusion that they are either Rape Seed Plants or Canola Seed Plants and the oil is used for either Vegetable Oil or Canola Oil. So, there you go!

On our way to France we drove by the Bern Temple. The last time we were here (9 years ago) we went by the Temple so I could get a photo and I was so sad because it was under construction, they were putting Moroni on top. But now, finally I got it! Though it was a bit over cast and rained heavily as we drove thru France, I was able to get this lovely shot before the clouds let loose.
