Bon Jour and Stuff

When you want croissants for breakfast, just hop a train to France. Because we can!

We actually had talked about doing the trip then booked our tickets last night.  We hit the tracks a litte after 9 a.m. It's only about a two-hour ride to Strasbourg, one of their capitals and right on the border. Why not take advantage of seeing another country when you can?

This is me being brave climbing on top of a dam. You can see the Notre Dame Cathedral on the distant background.  That was the highlight of the day!

Pictures don't do it justice because it is too big to fit in one frame. But here are a few...

It was very impressive. Glad we got to see that. Also got some shopping done and some eating. Had French dishes at a cafe, then of course, found ice cream.

For those keeping score at home, I've now eaten some variation of ice cream in 7 countries. No wonder I'm exhausted. And fat.

That's OK. Pretty sure we walked it off. Another day with more than 10 miles of walking. No, I don't know metric equivalent but I'm sure it's plenty o' steps.

There's more to share but it's almost midnight, we got back in time for a late dinner and I'm decidedly exhausted.

Au revoir!
