Heather, her husband, Antonio, and their son, Mike were great hosts for us during our stay in Luxembourg and provided lots of insight into the way Europe worked and some of their own travel tips. Heather’s mother and Laura-Lyn’s mother are old friends. Heather, who traveled to Europe from Canada many years ago is practically an honorary European but still enjoys an opportunity to shop for Canadian delicacies at some of the stores that cater to armed forces personnel.
She speaks (and probably writes) French and she has lots of opportunity to practice Italian, Antonio’s native tongue.
Heather and Antonio’s house is the one in the middle, with the partly visible BMW in the driveway.
Their house is located near a park that offered a great walk through a forest, past some legacy owners who were on the property before it became a park. This photo was taken overlooking one of these properties, whose owner appeared to run a firewood concession, judging by the perfect woodpile on the other side of the house that is to the right in this picture.
Further into our walk (and the forest) we reached this point where Heather pointed to the part of the forest where Allister is standing and said, “over there somewhere is Belgium.”
Needless to say you don’t have to travel too far in any direction to be in another country.
