Mommy's Trip to Luxembourg: Part 3

 After spending a few days in the north of Luxembourg, we then drove down south.  We stayed one night in a town just on the border of France and Luxembourg called Dudelange.  In the town center they were having a flee market and street faire.  We decided to check it out.  It turned out being a lot of fun.  Mom bought some toys to bring home for her kids, an oil painting and a Villeroy and Boch plate.  Then Oma and Mom shared some frites with Mayo and Ketchup.  It was a fun day.

 The next morning Mom and Oma got up early and drove to Metz, France for church.  It is the stake center for that area.  Mom and Oma didn't understand any of it because it was all in french.  So they took turns reading conference talks in English on mom's phone.  It was fun to sing the hymns in French though.  Oma seemed like she knew how to pronounce the words, but mom was pretty lost so she didn't sing too loud.  Someday Mommy wants to come back to Luxembourg and serve a mission with Dad.  Better start learning Luxembourgish!

After church we drove to the Saint-Étienne de Metz Cathedral.  Mom had heard from a friend that the stained glass by Chagall was beautiful and definitely worth seeing.  They weren't disappointed.  It was beautiful.  Mom and Lily have read the book "Cathedral" many times before her trip and Lily told mom to take lots of pictures for her, so she did!

 Burning bush by Chagall.

 One of the interesting things in the cathedral, was that they had a baptismal font!   Oma even opened it up and looked inside.  Mom was a little nervous they would get kicked out at that point. :)

 Gargoyle for Lily

The streets are so pretty in Metz.

After going to Metz we drove to the little town next to it called Morhange.  We haven't found the link yet, but the rumor is that this is where our family came from.  Oma said that there were 2 brothers that lived here that then left and went north to Luxembourg. We drove around the town and looked for Churches or a cemetery.  We found 2 churches, but couldn't find a cemetery. 

Beautiful Oma!

This was Mom's favorite stained glass.

After a great day visiting lots of Churches that night they drove back up north.

Could this trip get any better?  To be continued...
