Strasbourg at Last!

Finally we are in beautiful Strasbourg, Libby's home for the last 3 months.

Walking through "La Petite France" the old city center was like being inside a fairy tale village.

Standing on top of the"Ponts Couverts" with the rest of Strasbourg in the background.
 It is an old covered bridge where the soldiers could watch out for attacks on the city

The buildings look more Bavarian in style in the old city.
The city was actually once part of Germany 

Libby stands in front of the Syracuse University in France where she takes 2 classes. 

The weather is still perfect so we rent bikes to tour the sights. While we were out on the streets
Michael and I were stopped by the "French 3 Alsace" TV crew and interviewed about our reaction to the bombings in Boston.  They said we would be on TV tonight but we did not get a chance to watch.
Maybe we can find a video of it on the internet later.

This is the front of Libby's house.

University of Strasbourg where Libby takes 3 classes.

Libby with her host mom Micheline on the terrace where they live.

Micheline invited us over for a delicious dinner in her home

Her flat is bigger than our house. Large rooms filled with loads of color and unique art.

Libby's room. This woman loves red, pink and orange.

Dining area where we sat for many hours, enjoyed a great meal and wonderful conversation

Micheline's study. She is a retired teacher who writes books and paints.

The photos do not begin to capture the impact of all the colors in her home.
This hallway glows in the dark!
