More Strasbourg

The Notre Dame Cathedral of Strasbourg is world famous. It took 400 years to complete. You can find it in the book  "One Thousand Places to See Before You Die". So we checked one off right here.

These are French Macarons!
Oh my, they are incredible and not anything like the macaroons that we have in the states.
 Little cookie/cake sandwiches with a cream filling that come in many flavors.
So beautiful on display at the Patissiere Ziegler where Libby works as an intern.  

The Patisserie

Libby just finished her morning shift. Hope she brings home some recipes for us.

I keep taking pictures of rows of different colored houses yet the photos never seem to capture how vivid they are 

There are so many pretty old homes along the river. Some look very Alsatian and then right next door ......

We find one that might look more French. Many of these old homes are used as foreign embassies.

We leave Strasbourg tonight to take the train to Switzerland. This has been a very special city.
