Birthday Weekend


I had a very special birthday weekend. We stayed the night at the Hilton in the Castle District. Upon checking in, we were told to go to the executive lounge which was a real treat. After unpacking, we headed out to walk around the cobblestone streets loaded with tourists.
There is a labyrinth with a network of cellars to explore. It was a strange arrangement. In the evenings, you can go through with only a lantern, but I wasn't interested in any part of that.
We had dinner at Pampas, an Argentinian steakhouse.
And at breakfast the following morning, I was treated to beautiful gifts, champagne and a leisurely breakfast. It was a superb way to spend a birthday weekend.
