I was a guest of the Bakker Bugle B&B just a few weeks ago. I could tell you how much fun we had traveling & enjoying time with our friends & their hospitality, as well as Belgium beers, wine, and food, but instead here is a snippet of what Will & I did one day……
\n\"In
\nWe decided to walk around the city center in Luxembourg City, then the crazies came out… but this isn’t about them…it’s about us. We strolled through the park near the B&B and found a fading smiley face.
\n\"Smiley
\nMinutes later, a strange girl handed us a free hat & pen without so much as a credit card application. As we walked farther, we saw a balloon plaza with the same emblazoned emblem of TANGO. Not only is it my favorite dance, but also a communications company in Europe. But this was no ordinary balloon….it was gigantic & Helium filled!!
\n\"Balloon
\nOur two magnificent balloons were tied to my purse & I proceeded to carry them for at least the next hour. Wind, sharp street signs, tree branches, French tourists, crowds tried to deter me from goal, which was to arrive home safely with balloons intact — for my joy & the delight of others.
\n\"Sharon
\nOn our last stop before home…..I decided to sit for a minute on the new space-saucer-shaped bench. To my dismay Will continued to snap photos….which resulted in a stop-animation\/ short-French inspired
\nfilm that I like to call Balloons Bleu<\/em>.
\n\"Sharon
\nI have to say I was really impressed with the outcome…. it was way more entertaining than my accidental digital shorts which were odd but funny.

So what were the balloons for? Pure enjoyment and the promotion of the advertisers for the night marathon… but more about that later.
\n\"Tango
\nHere are some additional topics for further blog posts on my trip to Luxembourg. I’ll write more based on popular demand….<\/p>\n
