Learning life

(Alsace)

We took a group trip a last week to the Alsace. We were only there for a few days (Monday-Wednesday) but it was so great. I had a blast. Our first stop was at Strasbourg were we stayed for most of the trip. Monday and part of Tuesday. I love this town sooo much. It was so pretty. Were there the weekend before the Christmas celebration started, so we didn't get to see that. (Bummer right?) However, the parts that I did get to see were fantastic. I love going around a visiting the beautiful cathedral, plus they have some pretty good food. 

After Strasbourg we went to Keisersberg, (not sure how it is spelled) on tuesday afternoon. I liked this town to. It was tiny we walked up and down it in about 40 minutes. It was really cold though up there. It's in the border between Germany in France, and the two countries have always been fighting over the Alsace region. So Keisersberg is a strange mix of French and German cultures. It's the same for Strasbourg, but in Keisersbers  it's more visible.

The next day on Wednesday, we got back on our bus and drove to back to Paris, but along the way we stopped in Reins. This City with a really cool cathedral where most of the past French kings have been coronated. (Think Westminster Abbey.) It was such a great cathedral, but we only got to stay for an hour and we had to eat lunch in that hour also. We didn't get to see much of the city, but we did see the cathedral and that was great. Plus I ate some really good Chinese food there. (Pictures coming soon.)
