Strasbourg

Our second day trip: Strasbourg, France...also a 2.5 hour drive away. This was my third time visiting Strasbourg. It's a city that I'm really starting to enjoy. It's like a mini-Paris (minus the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triumph, Louve, etc.) The open air cafes and trendy shops are fun to browse through. I picked up an info book on the city and hope to start checking out different parts of the city and walking through museums.
^This is my favorite building. It's a restaurant that I'd eventually like to eat in. I find the glass windows to be very cool.
^This open air cafe is one of my new favorite pictures. I love all the colored buildings in Strasbourg and all the exposed wooden beams.
Katie and I wandered down some ally ways I hadn't previously checked out. We came across a small market and man did it smell good! Fresh cut flowers, fruit, bread, cheese, crepes... it was awesome!
We also came across a church I hadn't walked by before. I really liked its red doors. The stained glass windows below are in the large church in the city center square. For it being a gloomier, cloudy day, I was surprised to see so much color in the windows.
