... Tracy also bought a beautiful drawing of a dog for her office. I expect we'll go back there. After Luc's, we went to Landstuhl, which you've heard about. From there we went to the third antiques store, Freddie's antiques, in Hutschenhausen. With a name like Freddie's you might expect the store to attract Americans; it does. But the furniture was awesome, if too expensive. There were bookcases, armoires, beds, dressers, etc. with fabulously worked pattens and low-relief ...

I started the week in Geneva because of work. During my weekly Skype call with my parents, they mentioned my brother would be leaving for Paris the next morning. Nice of him to tell me! I called him but couldn't get a hold of him, so tried again in the morning. By the time I was awake on Monday, he was in bed for the night, but luckily he woke up and answered the phone. He told me he had a free day on Wednesday with no plans so this would be a good day for us to ...

... 8 hours until 6pm and see if there are any no-shows or go to Vogelweh. Vogelweh was a more expensive option but a sure thing and I could have it immediately.<br><br>We weighed all the factors and decided that in our exausted condition, Vogelweh was the best option so we picked up our rental car and headed out.<br>

Featured Excursion: Strasbourg canal cruise<br>Optional Tour: Haute Königsburg<br><br>"See Strasbourg the way it has been seen through the centuries&#8212;on a canal cruise.

... that had sustained a lot of damage during the war. Sometimes traveling is all about last minute decisions that turn out to be can&#8217;t-miss surprises, and that&#8217;s exactly what Strasbourg became.<br><br>Though there aren&#8217;t many first class sights in Strasbourg &#8211; unless you count the Kronenbourg Brewery that can only be seen with reservations we didn&#8217;t have and the EU Parliament which is really just a bunch of politicians ...

Hablar de Estrasburgo es hablar de la Gran Isla en la que se asienta su centro histórico, abrazada por el rio Ill, afluente del Rhin. Es uno de los cascos medievales mejor conservados de Europa y su catedral es una de las mas altas del mundo. La recorrimos en barco por sus canales y paseamos por el barrio de la Petite France, el mas pinturesco de Estrasburgo y el que tiene mas canales.

I had planned to visit Strasbourg on three separate dates in the past, all with the same friend. Each time we had to postpone it for one reason or another. Today our plan finally came together. We got in a car with our men and drove out to Strasbourg. My friend is even more organized than me and had everyone download audio guides from Zevisit in our own native language beforehand. Once we got to the city we started our audio tour in ...

... than ours, whipped cream, and dark cherries), It wasn't too chocolatey so I could have some. We took naps after lunch, then drove to Niederbronn les bains, about 15 km. from Lembach. They were having folk dancing and a band concert. Eight young people (probably in their teens) from nearby Haguenau performed dances from the 16th and 17th century in traditional Alsatian folk costumes. [From a ...

... five minutes from the hotel. But I simply use this for one-off items. The Italian restaurant that I frequent is a simple and informal place, but the food is great. This night I settled for the 'Castello', a pizza with funghi,pepperoni,salami and olives. This is one of my favorite pizza combination, and here it is wonderfully prepared. Then, it was quiet walk through the night, and then back to the hotel for a coffee and a drink, in a bar which was quite deserted ...

... girl, and we rented bikes and rode to some ruins outside of town. It was on this day that I decided it's too friggin' hot in the south, I now go north. <br><br>Next I went to Metz to see my old friend Sandra Le Petit and her family (who I stayed with for the summer when I was 14). Fun fun fun. We basically just hung out a bunch, and on Sunday night we went to go see Alanis Morissette in concert in Luxembourg (where Sandra now lives). She pit n a ...
