Strasbourg

Off to Strasbourg we went! It was the perfect day (again!) with lots of sun and 70's and 80's for temps. I think out of all the cities we went to, Strasbourg was the most crowded. But it didn't bother us too much.

First we toured the Cathedral of Strasbourg.  We rounded a corner and--BOOM--there it was.  It was so tall we couldn't even get a picture of the whole thing, so we had to walk away from it to try and fit it in the frame. The inside was pretty crazy too.  You know, the extremely tall ceilings, the stained glass windows...very nice!

 After that, we went on a boat ride down the Rhine River which winds around the city. Very relaxing.  You can tell from the photos that the architecture is very different from what we're normally used to, so that made everything even more interesting.

Lunch was a wild chase to find an empty table! We finally chose one that was out of the sun...or did we?  Since Strasbourg is on the edge of France, literally just a river away from Germany, the menu was a little mish-mashy with some German food, some French food.  But hey! We weren't complaining.  Getting schnitzel for the last time, we (all three of us) got chicken in a white wine sauce. (Please note* above picture for  humorous spelling.)

Either way, Strasbourg was nice, uneventful, and very pleasant.  Weather, very warm.  Food, very good.
