Backwards in Time -- Strasbourg

We've been doing such long days here that it's been difficult for me to catch up on posts regarding the side trip we took. So I thought I'd briefly hit the remaining highlights and lowlights.

Last Friday we drove from Luxembourg to Freudenstadt in the Black Forest in Germany. En route we stopped in Strasbourg, which was very, very beautiful. Right in the middle of the old part of the city (lovely in itself), you turn a corner and come upon an enormous (really enormous, monster-sized) gothic cathedral. We all literally gasped when we first saw it, because it's so huge and it sits just right there in the middle of everything. We toured the cathedral and the old part of the city, had lunch at an Alsatian restaurant (I had some traditional dish that was cheese, ham, and onions on a large, thin flat bread; the boys had spaetzel [with a ton of cheese and cream, made mine seem like lean cuisine]; and Suzie, being good, had a salad. After that we drove on to Freudenstadt.

Strasbourg pictures follow. A reminder: Clicking on any picture will bring up a larger, clearer image.

Stay tuned for weird happenings in Freudenstadt.
