Having recently found out that my father's side of my family came directly from Strasbourg, my sister and I knew that we had to make a stop there on our tour of France.

| Look at me! I'm an Alsacien specialty! |
We really had a great time just roaming the city. We took a boat tour, walked through the cathedral, and ate lots of Alsacien foods!

| Beautiful. |

| I loved all the signs in French and German. |
This city made me giggle because it absolutely felt like a place I could belong. Being of German descent, I've always wished that I could speak just a little German to be able to connect with people that still live where my family once did. However, being in Strasbourg solved that problem. I was able to roam the streets that my great-great-great (I think that's enough?) grandparents did, while also conversing with the people I ran into. Great stop, and I can't wait to go back!
