Castles of the World

This morning we went to the picturesque town of Bouillon, Luxembourg. This town lies along side a river and a great Medieval castle overlooking the town and river. The castle was started about 1060 by a knight who led the Crusades to take Jerusalem back from the Arabs. This castle had two draw bridges. If an attacker could get over the second moat, there was an iron gate that came down out of the ceiling and a hole in the ceiling for pouring hot oil through. There was a large courtyard inside the fortress walls, a dungeon and prison cells.
We drove into Luxembourg City in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. After checking into the hotel, we took a guided walking tour to the Duke's Palace and the surrounding area. Right across the street from the hotel was a building owned by Pedus. I had just taken a picture of a Pedus truck parked in front of the gate of the Ducal Palace.  Deara and I went inside the building and found the office of Pedus' Luxembourg headquarters. We wanted to get some literature about their operations to take back to Phoenix as a joke.
