Answer: Germany, of course!
As I mentioned in the last post, my friend and I went to Luxembourg yesterday. As soon as we arrived in Luxembourg, we were hungry. The entire train ride had been spent talking about all the fabulous German food we would eat while in Luxembourg, because we knew that Luxembourg was incredibly close to Germany, thus, would have awesome German food. When we arrived we noticed on the train schedule that there was a train leaving to a German city, just across the border with Luxembourg, in a few minutes. So...
10 minutes + 8 euros + 1 train ticket to Trier, Germany = The best German food ever
I guess I didn't do enough research on Luxembourg and the surrounding German area to know that I was in the heart of the Rhine land. It was stunningly beautiful and the weather was just how I imagined Germany to be: cloudy, misty and grey. The town in Germany we went to, Trier, is the oldest city in Germany. They document this with evidence from ruins le
ft within the city. But, of course, the most important thing about Trier was the food. For anyone that truly knows me, they know that I am not a big fan of German food. But, I have to say, that the German food in Trier was unbelievable. It had to be one of the best meals I have ever eaten. The people in Germany were so friendly and actually spoke English, a huge culture shock from my life in Paris. Germany also had great pastries. There was even a Christmas makret going on in Trier. And, let me tell you, Christmas markets in Germany are something else. The Germans are really into Christmas. As soon as we got off the train in Trier, we started wandering around the small city, and it suddenly hit me: I had woken up in Paris, took a train to Luxembourg, and somehow en
ded up in Germany. Life is strange. But the most amazing part of the entire day was when my friend and I were back in Luxembourg and she said, "You know, sometimes I feel really lucky. I mean, we're walking across a bridge in Luxembourg. We have so much time on our hands that we are going to Luxembourg, a country that is probably not even on most people's top 1,000 things to see in their life." And I couldn't have agreed with her more.
