Strasbourg & Petite France Well if yesterday was the most dismal, today was the most glorious! We had sun and NO rain, despite predictions to the contrary. I have a new favorite: Strasbourg has, hands-down, the best Christmas decorations I have ever ...

Strasbourg, France
... his name is Wrench, or at least that's what I heard between the pounding throbs from within my head. We headed to Strasbourg via Luxembourg. Luxembourg is a gorgeous microstate. If I had to guess, it is probably comparable to Rhode Island, or maybe ...

When in France

At Home in Strasbourg
Hello Everyone It has been very amazing to live in a big city, let alone one in another country. From our class room we can see the cathedral that was built in the 12th century. I must admitt that it was bit of a culture shock at first but I feel that ...
