We are on the move again.
Today we left Strasbourg and are now moored in the country on in a green and tranquil spot – the weather was warmer than any day last year, and it’s only early May! In fact the weather has been great the whole time so far.
We really liked Strasbourg and enjoyed our time there. It was made special because of our new friend Margot who actually met the dogs first while Terry was in a store. Margot, who works as a tour guide, offered to show us her city. Terry said yes, as long as we could take her to lunch. We learned much about the history of Strasbourg and the Alsace, but what was really fascinating was her life story.
Margot was a young girl when the German occupation took over her city. Her stories of being evacuated the country, returning to occupied Strasbourg, being forced to join the Hilter Youth and work in the office for the local bigwigs were fascinating, informative and also fun. She really brought the city to life for us. We feel very lucky to have met her and will keep in touch.
Here are some more pictures of the city:
