strasbourg, dear
After seeing La Sagrada Familia, I wasn’t prepared to be as awe-inspired as I was by the Notre Dame Cathedral in Strasbourg.
It was red and Gothic and towered high above the rest of the city. Its frame didn’t fit with the scenery, and I felt like it had been painted on to a huge backdrop.
We went inside to view an age-old clock that had a unique history behind it. The chimes itself weren’t that impressive. But we did watch a video that enlightened us, in French, German, and English, about its import. I did find it impressive.
After the Cathedral, I walked through Petite France. It reminded me of Leavenworth, a Bavarian tourist hotspot in Washington.
There were green parks and quiet streets. I think it would be a nice place to live except for the tourist huts.
