There are worse places to be stuck in bed with a cold.

Made our first trip out today after a long family stint in bed with a cold. 

Strasbourg is a lovely place- ancient buildings, canals, flower boxes on every window and waiters who give you the option of trying to communicate in French rather than saying 'hello' on the approach. 

Tried some local delicacies today in 'Petit France' quarter, a local dumpling that they use like pasta, learned all about the categories of fois gras (we prefer the duck...) and found that the local biscuit is gluten free (macaroons not to be confused with macarons).  

Got our fix of choucroute in before we leave town tomorrow for our friends in Dijon. 

En route- this place always cracks me up. Anyone who knows me knows that I get hungry- the French have a word for it... 

The cathedral in Strasbourg appears our of nowhere. 

Yep. Made for the locals. (Yes I washed the shirt before wearing it again;)

They were waiting for Costar...

Picturesque Petit France, Strasbourg. 

Even John is excited by 1€ Perrier.
