When our car arrived a couple weeks ago we couldn’t wait to hit the road for a day trip. And ironically our first go behind the wheel in Germany was a drive to…France. Mon dieu! We decided to take what turned out to be a pretty windy, yet really scenic, route across the northern black forest. And once we emerged from that unscathed (safe from all the cuckoo clocks and witches!) we crossed the Rhine and we were in Strasbourg—a city of both German and French speakers and confusing bilingual billboards. It’s a place we’ve really been wanting to see, but since we were a little short on time and had the pooches in tow, we just cruised through the downtown (completely missing the historic pedestrian altstadt ‘island’.) However during our 30 mins of sightseeing, we did manage to get this drive-by shot of their super-cool, newly-face-lifted train station, the Gare de Strasbourg. Then we opted for the uber-fast route back home, which was a practically-no-speed-limit autobahn ALL the way. Good thing I trust Curt’s uber-keen driving skills.
