Strasbourg is located in the northeastern region of France, the Alsace capital. It sits on the Rhine River and along the border of Germany. The city has an apperance of 1/2 French and 1/2 German. It has a LOT of history, starting when the Romans first occupied it in 12 B.C.
For all the details go to:
It is known for it's great architecture, cathedral and chateaus in the hills, as well as the wine and beer. There are also 15 museums there to occupy some of my time! The River Ill also goes through the city. There are festivals and operas here as well.
I look forward to my weekend here, and seeing a new region in France (especially if it's so close to Germany). Maybe I can take a shuttle or bus to a nearby chateau in the hills too!

That picture of the river and bridges are gorgeous! I'm going home on Wednesday for Thanksgiving and want to call you since I'll be able to use my mom's phone card. Haha... Maybe we'll do a Bean family call on Friday morning or something.
Hi Laura! See my comment for Nov. 17th!
Love and prayers,
