Final photos and experiences in Strasbourg before heading to Paris.
One morning Rich and I got up before the others to walk the streets early morning. There was something going on……………..
We discovered there were multiple races occuring simultaneously, various lenghts and ages. We made the way to the finish line and this gentleman picked up his daughter about 20 feet before the finish line – very cute.
Walking the historic center, I curated a number of photos. A number of bridges exist for walking or driving. It seemed like all those we crossed had ironwork, nice.
I really don’t like the locks, but I see them everywhere – even in Iceland. Really? Really!
A few city or neighborhood parks were sprinkled throughout the downtown area.
Another use for a tub. This one had a few vegetable plants along with herbs sprinkled amongst the flowers.
One afternoon several of us walked to the University’s botanical garden.
Some of the flowers were similar to those seen at home.
And one I didn’t know……………
I r.e.a.l.l.y liked this insect house we came across in the garden. Hon? Can I have one of these? Can you build me one?
All too soon, our time was up in this city.
We grabbed a ride to the train station before looking to eat somewhere. This place was 1 block away – serving really good food, Restaurant D Steakhouse. I’m sure there are bad restaurants serving bad food somewhere (chains maybe?) but no complaints for the meals thus far.
A meat & cheese plate and duck foie gras were the starters we shared.
A nice goat cheese salad was all that I needed.
Veal cordon bleu (left) along with veal scallops (right).
What is a meal without desserts?
We enjoyed our time in this lovely city. Eric and I visited with friends in 2005 and I remember very little of that time. This visit was an excellent experience. Who knows, maybe we will be back. One last group photo in front of the cathedral.
Let’s get on the train and head to Paris!
