Strasbourg and Colmar

We spent a lovely weekend in France! Saturday morning we drove to Strasbourg, on the way passing through beautiful French countryside. Arriving at our hotel, we walked along the riverbanks of the Ill to the city center where we explored Petit France, Saint Thomas Church, Cathedral of Notre Dame, Place Gutenberg, Place Broglie, and Place Kleber. We spent a lot of time walking the river banks, partially because they were everywhere and a great way to get around! The cathedral was amazing. We ventured into a fabric store, but I was highly disappointed :-(. We spent the night in a cozy hotel, and this morning drove the short distance to Colmar.

We loved Colmar! It was smaller, and there were much less people. The city was so beautiful, every street we turned down had something new to show. We walked around all morning exploring side streets and the streams.

Europe went off of daylight savings time today, and it's very dark at 6:15pm. When we arrived in June it didn't get dark till after 10pm! It's interesting living farther north, and chillier!
