We’re an American family living just outside of Bitburg, in the scenic but often-damp Eifel countryside of far-western Germany. We got the crazy notion to buy a haus here, and even though it’s not the renovated barn/carriage house/crumbling country manor of our dreams, it’s pretty cool—when the plumbing and heating are working properly. When we aren’t traveling, we live a pretty quiet life. Stop by for frequent doses of Gemütlichkeit, which just basically means a sense of coziness and intimacy--and an unhurried pace to counter the frenetic nature of modern life. Doctor's orders! Oh, and a special hello to anyone visiting from the Spangdahlem Air Base community!
Lovely photos. Of course I love the one of the pastry shop the best. If I lived in Europe I'd probably get fat just because I thought the window displays were pretty. Hahaha.
Luxembourg looks like a great place to visit. Very charming photos. The cities here in the U.S. are so dull architectually, compared with most cities in Europe. Have a great week. Maureen
Vmichelle and Monica, Yes, the chocolate! That's a Laduree shop that I hadn't previously known was in Luxembourg. Unfortunately (I guess), it wasn't open on Sunday.
Maureen, thank you--and you have a great week, too!
hausfrau, that nun is doing hair-wrapping. I had to take a photo because that stylish little girl looked so melancholy...
Coco, yes, we used to eat nashi when we lived in Japan. They are so good! Fall is really nice here so far--we haven't had much cool weather or rain.
Never Been to Luxembourg...it looks lovely. Any city that has a Laduree in it has to be fabulous! Too bad it was closed...so close to rose macarons. xo Caroline

I love these photos, they make me want to visit Luxembourg all the more. And that borage in the post before! How gorgeous!

Luxembourg has just made it to my must visit list! That chocolate shop looks amazing and I love the photo of the girl. She looks older than her years.
Erin, glad you liked the photos!
Boho Farm, you're so right about any city with a Laduree....
Crafty Mermaid, I totally agree with you--I thought this young girl looked a bit jaded, like a child model!
