My Week in Lux

I have not been to any new places to tell you about this week, but as I go about my usual routine, I always notice something that I didn't before.  Often is the same street I've walked a hundred times and out of the blue I see a house with interesting architecture or a beautiful garden that I just didn't notice before.

This house is an example of one that I often pass,  always thinking that this street is so cute, but this week, the green house with the beautiful red flowers really caught my eye.  I see all sorts of interesting colors on houses here, but this minty green is just lovely... Subtle enough to blend in, but still standout enough to make me want a green house!

You can get a little glimpse of the crystal chandelier hanging upstairs.  There is another gorgeous chandelier on the first floor too.  They always seem to be lit in the late mornings when I pass.

The Wednesday market is not to be missed in Luxembourg.  All sorts of specialties, many Luxembourgish, but there is an Italian vendor (who promised me Italian sausage next week!), German, French and most likely some of the farmers are Belgium too.  The flowers are always so pretty to browse.

Oh, learned something kinda cool this week.  Maybe this is the standard in Chicago, NYC and other older cities, but I've never known about it.... I've seen this metal covers on the sidewalks all over.

Inside, they are small lifts that raise/lower deliveries to the lower level of the building.  I see the beer distributors delivering beer this way and picking up empty bottles.  The restaurant food deliveries are often being lowered down this way also.  Kinda cool.

To round out the week, on my walk home from school this morning, I glanced back and noticed the steeples of the Notre Dame Cathedral from the south side looked especially pretty with the sun and had to snap a picture.  This is the same cathedral that I recently posted a picture of from the front.
