One of my New Yearʻs resolutions is to visit three new countries, so R and I decided to test the waters in the Netherlands!
Itʻs only a 2.5 hour drive from Luxembourg City to Maastricht, and we kind of chose the city at random. We found a really great Air BnB online, made a reservation, and off we went. Itʻs still winter and not an ideal season to go exploring, but we had a great time leisurely wandering around the city, gawking at the churches, playing cribbage by the fireside in our lodging, and enjoying unstructured time together.

| They turned a cathedral into a book store! |
 |
| The famous red church - St. Janskerk - a protestant church, and right next to the Catholic Basilica of St. Servatius. |
 |
| Love the cobblestone streets! |
 |
| This painting is in the Bonnefantenmuseum. Itʻs called "Census at Bethlehem," by Pieter Brueghel de Jonge. R made me laugh when he said "Looks like ʻCensus at Maastrichtʻ" because of the overtly European style. |

| At the Basilica of Our Lady. |

| The perfect fireside location for a lively game of cribbage! |
