Yay! I am finally in Strasbourg! After a very long, long day of traveling through three countries we finally made it. During our travels, my favorite moment was when I woke up on the bus and was greeted by a glorious sunset as we crossed the epic Rhine River. Beautiful! We are staying in an Apart/Hotel; fortunately, it is very clean and has most of the ammenities we need. On the negative side, it is about as big as my bedroom and there are three of us, a "toilet" and a kitchen, with a minature fridge, stove and dishwasher.
Last night was our first outing on the town, we were on a quest for food after living off of plane snacks for a whole day. We found a small, local pub and quickly discovered the difficult language barrier. The staff ended up being very nice and helpful, contrary to popular belief, and I managed to order a delicious "jambon" and "formage" sandwhich aka ham and cheese. Today we are going to venture around Strasbourg on the Ill River and then on a foot tour. I am very excited to see the town in daylight and find my way around. Hopefully, I will have some pictures to put up after our excursion today. Miss you all very much!
