savoring Maine ...

Mom and Ellen floating in the tidal river at Popham Beach.



Ellen, Mom and me at Popham Beach.

Making jam with Ellen from the berries we picked earlier this summer in Skaneateles with Dad and Dave.




Mom fending off the crazy-persistent seagulls at popham beach so my dad could eat his potato chips. he loves potato chips.


me enjoying possibly my first lobster of the year? at least the first for the summer.

dad, mom, and aunt ellen showing off their "bugs" as dave calls them. 

a lovely color combo and kind of Luxembourgish. a new collander - a gift from Ellen.

Dave's First Weekend in Lux




A very nice couple dave met on his walk in the "Faffenhall" neighborhood - in the low gorge valley near the "grund". They had gotten that reddish plant on the left in Czech Republic and were marveling at how much it had grown, but they didn't know what it was. The husband was born and had grown up in the same house. Dave spoke some beginner French with them and they took his photo and then he took theirs.

Dave's Daily Scenes

Dave's office. Check out the view of the field. there are many open fields throughout Luxemboug. so nice!


This is the "Gare" area - where dave catches the shuttle. It's supposed to be the "roughest" neighborhood in luxembourg but it's really fine. i guess at night it can get "rough" but it's all relative seeing as Luxembourg City is the safest city in the EU!


This is the bus that Dave takes to the train station the "Gare" where he catches the citigroup shuttle to his office.


Here is dave's favorite house across the street from his apt. it's kind of typical of the architecture there.
