My Summer Vacation My Summer Vacation

I went to Luxembourg. Its such a small country! In fact it’s the smallest country in the world! There are three other major countries around it; Belgium to the north, Germany east, and France to the west. As we passed over the glistening North Sea, I felt at home in the 75 degrees F. temperature - just as it is at home right now.

One day I walked into a really beautiful church, and when I walked in there was a sign that said Roman Catholic church. I walked further in and people were talking in uhh, I think… Luxembourgish and German. I guess it was some kind of holiday called Fair Day because they were celebrating and eating pork and beans. I later found out that it was the Grand Dukes birthday. Around the city there were also beautiful sculptures and paintings. After that I went cycling with some other Luxembourgish people.

Economy I passed by the steel factory on my way into town. There were more factories; rows and rows of food, machinery, and chemical factories. When I got to where I was going, I went to go buy something for my mom and they said to pay in Euros… what in the world is a Euro? It is the form of money now used throughout many countries in Europe. Did you also know that there is a European Union and that Luxembourg is a part of it? (Euro. Union flag and country's)

When I visited Musee National d’Histoire Militaire in Diekirch. I learned About how Luxembourg was a Monarchy and a neutral country until 1914 when Germany invaded. They occupied the country for all of World War I and World War II. During WWII many Luxembourgish joined the Resistance. The country was liberated by the ally’s including the United States. Did you know that after the war Luxembourg joined NATO and the European Union? Government
