Celebrating the 40th Anniversary in Style







So this past weekend we stayed in Luxembourg for the first time. It was the 40th anniversary celebration week for our European Campus (MUDEC), so the school hosted a dinner/dance on Friday night. Dave was my "DU Replacement date" for the evening, haha. The weekend overall was really fun, but this definitely was worth staying for.
First we took a river boat cruise down the Moselle. It was breathtaking... yet more than slightly boring. There was literally nothing for us to do but play cards and sit there... for 2 and a half hours. Needless to say we were all pretty restless by the time we got to the actual party at around 7. The bottomless champagne combined with the fact that none of us had eaten since noon (and wouldn't be fed til 10) made the party get pretty rowdy pretty fast. The food was great though (haha Katie). Laurant, the IT guy at the Chateau, was the DJ for the evening. He started the evening off with "YMCA" and ended with KC and JoJo's "All My Life".... enough said :) It was rockin. The dance floor consisted of ALL us 20 year olds, and absolutely NONE of the alumni. They were being lame. Although we did meet one guy who graduated in the late 70s and is now a professor of marketing at James Madison (I think) he was really cool. And had decided to come the day before, just dropped everything and flew to europe.... god I hope I'm cool enough to do that when I get older.

The next day we headed into Lux city to do a little shopping, and then went to the city bars at night. We gave in to American temptation and ate at Chi Chi's...totally worth it. I don't care if it was a cop out. It was delicious :) 

This weekend we're off to Berlin. Should be interesting considering we're traveling with a total of 18 people. Thank god we'll be able to split up.
