Metz and Luxembourgh

Well the last few days have gone by really quickly, mostly because we have been moving around a lot. Over the weekend we were in Metz France. This is the site of the largest battle of WWI. The significance of the war came to life when we visited the battle field and the hills were still rippled because of the artillery shells.

Today was the company visit that I have been anticipating most, we traveled outside of Metz to the town of Cattenom on the Luxembourgh/French/German border. We were able to visit the nuclear power plant Cattenom. It was way cool.

A view from the road of the plant.


This was a huge site, and really cool to see.

After visiting this site I am really excited to go work in NY. I have gained a new appreciation and understanding for nuclear design.

After the nuclear power plant we went to Luxembourgh, where we are staying the night. From the little that I have seen this is a way cool place. I really wish we had more time, but tomorrow we are headed to Paris.

If I hadn't have seen the power plant this morning I would have regretted turning down Goodyear, which may have sent us to Luxembourgh. Phew.

P.s. If anyone has heard from Torrie let her know we would all love to know how her trip went. Apparently I am not convincing enough on my own to get her to blog ;)
