And then there was Strassburg

As I said before, Emily and I took a trip to Strassburg, France. The town is just a short jump across the German-French border, and easily accessible by train. So, we got a group ticket and organized a group of five girls: Em, me, Shravanthi, Katie, and Kathleen. Mostly we just wandered around the city. It's very quaint and beautiful, situated on a little island and surrounded by a narrow channel of water. The buildings are all lovely and medieval in style. Just a really pretty place to visit. The highlights of the trip included our charming lunch at a small French cafe, our strolls through the neighborhoods, the Strassburg cathedral, and a boat tour around the channel (actually, that part was kind of boring...). There is also a lot of nice wine in that region, so I brought back a nice bottle of Pinot Noir that Andy, Em, and split the next night. I'm hoping that Andy and I can go back soon for a weekend sometime this summer.

The boat tour was so fascinating, that all of the
teenagers there on school trips fell asleep! :)
