Sundays are our days to explore, and one of our favorite discoveries recently was the American Cemetary in Luxembourg City, and the Battle of the Bulge in Bastogne Belgium. Take a look...

Bastogne, Belgium was a short 50 minute drive from Luxembourg City, and so worth it. This is where the Easy Company "dug in" in the Ardennes Forest without food, supplies or support. Between the towns of Foy and Bastogne is the forest with the foxholes that Easy Company used to stay alive, still in tact. It was a haunting experience to walk through this forest...

This was at 3:00 in the afternoon, almost pitch black in the Ardennes forest.

No matter where you live in the world, you may be suprised at what you can find within a short drive. Do you know what's in your own backyard?
