We took a trip to Luxembourg earlier this week; Dan planned an excursion full of cathedrals (the Notre Dame Cathedral in Luxembourg), fortresses (Luxembourg casemates and Burg Nanstein in Landstuhl, Germany), palaces (Grand Ducal Palace), and the Luxembourg American Cemetery and Memorial. It was all very interesting and beautiful.
The drive took approximately 90 minutes, and it was very interesting as well:
(Approaching a tunnel)
DAN: Man, this looks like the entrance to hell or something.
ME: (Thinking) Hades is a place, not a person, right?
DAN: What?
ME: Hades? It's a place?
DAN: Haiti?
ME: Hades? Hades. H-A-D-E-S.
DAN: Haiti? What?
ME: Hades! The place! Hades! Hades!
DAN: What?
ME: Hades! H-A-D-E-S! HADES!!
DAN: Haiti? Oh, H-A-D-E-S? (Not thinking) Hay-dez? What are you talking about?
ME: Omigod, Dan...
DAN: Why are you asking me about Haiti? Of course it's a place.
ME: Dan!
DAN: Haiti?
ME: Omigosh...
DAN: Huh?
ME: Hades! H-A-D-E-S. Hades, Dan! Hades!
DAN: Oh, HADES! Ha, ha.
ME: Oh man, you suck!
