“The use of travelling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.” ~ Samuel Johnson

This morning was an earlier day than usual and we arrived in Strasbourg France. Strasbourg is one of the one of the three main capitals of the European Union. The city is also the seat of many non-European international institutions as the commission for navigation of the Rhine, and the International Union of Human Rights. After breakfast we took a brief bus tour around the city and then a lovely and informative tour of the city center. It was as if you were taken back in time. You almost expected Belle from Beauty and the Beast to come around a corner singing.

The city was a photographers paradise. We stopped to look at the majestic Cathédrale Notre Dame de Strasbourg .

We took a leisurely stroll back passing (and stopping in bakeries) towards the Petite France section of Strasbourg.

“I travel because it makes me realize how much I haven’t seen, how much I’m not going to see, and how much I still need to see.”
