Jack's online banking problems are
back, so he is one unhappy camper (pun intended). We left the campground in
Luxembourg close to noon and traveled southeast into Germany through
Saarbrucken and along the Saar River. This is an old industrial city
and one of the old abandoned steel mills was at least one mile long
as we drove and drove the adjacent road and this building never seemed to end!
According to the guidebook, it is even lit at night, like a tourist
attraction...
We stopped to do a little grocery
shopping since stores will be closed tomorrow, had lunch and took a
nap. We continued south, back into France's Alsace-Lorraine region.
We spent the night in the small city of
Saverne, slightly northwest of Strasbourg. The place names here are
mostly German, but the language in French. The region has switched
hands between the two countries over many centuries and now it is a
great mixture of the two – they love their wines and their sauerkraut!
From our parking lot campground, we
could walk into the city with the hopes of finding a nice restaurant.
We did see quite a few, but we were not really hungry yet and the
shops in the cobble stoned pedestrian area were all closing up. Jack
wasn't feeling well, so we returned to the RV, made a nice dinner and
early to bed.
So, I spent my birthday in three different countries...Luxembourg, Germany and France!
