HI!!! Everyone. Alex and I are doing great. The baby arrived today (our car) and it was wonderful to drive it again. However, we took one last little trip in the VW Golf before we returned it. We had that little rental for as long as we had our CR-V in the states. Off we went to STRASBOURG...only hour and 1/2 from Landstuhl but took us 2 hours to find our hotel. 
The main reason to go to Strasbourg is to visit The Cathedral of Our Lady. The most beautiful church we have seen to date. It took 400 years to build and as you drive into Strasbourg, it rises beautifully over the city, defining the landscape.
Another view of the cathedral.
Alex...he is so silly. This man has more patience then anyone I have every known. What a great husband...even when I am OUT-OF-CONTROL, he remains calm. LOL
A view of the Ill River from the bridge. The next time we visit, we are taking a boat ride through the city.
An area of Strasbourg called Le Petite France...was at one time the part of the city that held the hospital. The houses are unique because they have cutaway roofs so the tanners could dry out their skins in the attics.
Another view of Le Petite France
The River Ill in Le Petite France
One of three remaining Medieval towers which made up a chain of fortifications.
My favorite...the Chocolate Museum or Les Secrets Du Chocolat (The Secret of Chocolate). The tour ends with a free bag of chocolate and a trip through the store. Yum Yum.
