More Around Limpertsberg

Back to our afternoon bike rides as we enjoyed our last week with no school.  Well, school doesn't start until Sept 16th, but we will start a little early this next week as we need some time to get used to it.  Never mind the fact that its been a really long summer for mommy and I can't wait to go for a long walk and sip a coffee in one of the beautiful Luxembourgish parks before the weather turns too cold.
This landmark here is one we have passed on just about every bus ride, never paying any attention to how beautiful it is or curious about what it is.  We decided to head to a park for a little time with Dad which happened to be right in front of La Foundation Pescatore... A "nursing home" for the aged Luxembourgers.  Gorgeous and huge...the picture doesn't nearly show it's vast size.

The crest of the Grand Ducal...

Apparently we live next to all the high schools!  We were told that the best schools are in Limpertsberg.  I've introduced you to the Lycée de Garçons and this one, even closer than the latter is high school of arts and trades.  Beautiful!
On our bike ride yesterday morning, we passed this one... Lycée Robert Schumann, another massive building that is maybe 2 city blocks large with original sections like this...

And then much more modern areas.  Again, I can't really capture the size of this place in my pictures.

I think this completes the tour of Limpertsberg... Have to save a few gems to show you when you visit!  Taking reservations now :)
