Everyday is an Adventure: Strasbourg, France

After the bonfire, we went to Rachel's apartment for a few hours of sleep and the headed off to Strasbourg, France. Packed the car full of people and were off! It was my first time to France and I loved it. It was an adorable city full of food and adorable children in béret (it is not just a stereotype) speaking French. It was lovely to be surrounded by French speakers for the weekend (German isn't the prettiest language to surround yourself with).

...and we definitely had enough chocolate to get through a few days...

We found our hotel slightly outside the city and figured out how to get into the city via public transportation. Strasbourg is a great walking city and that is what we did. Our Saturday consisted of eating, walking, and shopping. We all had hopes of finding some winter clothing cheaper than we could find it in Switzerland. I found an adorable dress...it is a perfect summer dress! I am destined to be cold for the winter!

We continued to eat our way through the day. There were delicious paninis, coffees, croissants, pizza, crepes, and pastries! There was also a "hot chocolate" which was actually just a cup of melting chocolate...can you say delicious? Every pastry and candy shop was gorgeous and smelled amazing. We stopped too often to admire their beauty and usually ended up walking out with some tasty treat.

We did get to see the Cathedral, which is probably my favorite one that I have seen since arriving in Europe. We also saw the beginning of Saturday night Mass and were able to hear the choir for a bit.

We continued to wonder the city and had dinner and a couple of drinks and then headed back to our hotel for an early night...or so we thought!

Our favorite spot! Adorable buildings and glorious cafes!

We ended up missing our bus back to the hotel (by about 5 hours) so we walked. Luckily, we had all paid attention to random things along the bus ride and made it back to our hotel! Upon arrival, one of the room key was not working and no one at reception. This meant that 5 of us crammed into one room, four into the bed. Needless to say, it was not the most comfortable night of sleeping. No one returned the call until two and half hours later! They then opened the door but we were too sleepy and unaware of what he was doing so we stayed in our current sleeping positions for the remainder of the night. We will hopefully be getting a check for the room we didn't touch!

Sunday was lovely! We woke up and heading into the city for our crepe and baguette! All of which were delicious! I then forced the crew to go check out the EU Parliament. Which was a really cool building.
